Email Pipeing

[Izkabola]

Hello, I am trying to pipe all of my email to public_html/email/lib/pipe.php however I am unsure how to do it.

I went into cPanel and changed the default address to |/public_html/email/lib/pipe.php; that didn't work so I tryed |/home/MYUSERNAME/public_html/email/lib/pipe.php which also didn't work.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Also, what would I enter?

Thank you very much.

Try setting it to
|php /home/MYUSERNAME/public_html/email/lib/pipe.php

we have a similar setup with a perl script, I believe you need to enclose the pipe in double quotes like so:

"|/home/MYUSERNAME/public_html/email/lib/pipe.php"

and yes, it has to be the full path to the script, not a relative path.

Thank you, that worked. The only problem is the person gets an email saying the email didn't go through when it actually did.

Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

well, not sure how your php scrippt is processes the email, I am by no means a PHP programmer, stickly Perl We use a module called Mail::Audit to process the email.

I'm not certain, but it could be the script that does that, or maybe something needs to be done in the script to stop it. PHP isn't my language. Like mickalo, I'm a perl user. I just wrote my first real php script 2 days ago. That's how I knew about needing php in front. My script was for a cron job and I had to figure that out to get it to run.

What is the message the sender gets?

Maybe it's because it's not actually going to an email account. I'm not sure. You could try setting the email address to forward to :blackhole: and to the script to see if that allows it to go to the script and stops the failure message.

[Izkabola]

I don't get the message if I do that.

use |php -q /path/to/file

That will surpress the:

Thanks. I was wondering if I could get rid of that from my cron job script output.

[Izkabola]

Great thank you.

Thankyou Squirrel (mainly) and everyone else.

I would have never have got this myself. ( the "|php /path/bit/....." )

Very useful.
