Exim question? (lost)
 

when Exim gets a bounce error, i need it to be passed to a PHP file, including both the SendTo address and the Bounce Error, so i can handle it as needed. any help?

What do you mean when Exim gets a bounce error?

When it tries to deliver a message to another host and is given a 550?

Or when another system generates a bounce that is returned to your Exim host?

Mostly when it is returned to host, but both would be good. The best case senerio would be if i could submit to the PHP both the error and the email so I can handle it accordingly.

Oh, that's much easier, just make an alias to send these messages out from (say your sending them from [email protected]):

webmailer: "| /path/to/your/script.php"

and run exim -bi

Make sure your script has #!/path/to/php as the first line, and is executable, and take STDIN as the $email_message, and parse accordingly.

Perl would probably be a better choice for this type of application, but eh.

I never really messed with EXIM that much before. Do you happen to know of anything that would help me going about doing this? Been searching google and EXIM.Org docs with little success. Thanks for the help already, and any future help.

email [email protected] he has done this same thing for our own boxes using exim.

message me and i will jerk u around til you feel really fucked

i allready feel really fucked, but hey thanks for the offer

anytime...i do what i can

Thanks to all who helped.

the 550 could mean a lot more things then just a bounce. it could be a disk read/write error. disk full, unknow user, etc.

with that said. use postfix or qmail for spamming. they are much better.

na its for opt in mailing so i can stay whitelisted under a few companies regulations
