Sendmail / Postfix / Qmail -- send email to application
 

PRobably not the best place to ask this....


Say I want to be able to route email through a perl program rather than deliver it...

With qmail it's easy. You just use the .qmail-dotfiles and pipe the delivery out to your program.

Is there a similar way to do this in sendmail / postfix?

Add the following line to aliases file:

script: "|/your/script.pl"

That should do it.

Hmmmmmm....now there's an idea.
