OK. I understand all this. Thank you for the reference to the specification. Apart from the wrong name, I was using PUTSCRIPT instead of GETSCRIPT. Now, where do I have to put the scripts to GET them? My home directory does not work, nor do the /var/mail/user/ and /var/mail/user/Maildir directories. I get a "Script does not exist" response, though the script is in all three locations.
