OK, the latter thread explains pretty much what you need to do if you're using sendmail as your MTA. But no matter what MTA you're using, the PHP script is going to be more or less the same: 1) read in the email through STDIN 2) parse it 3) do whatever you need with the data How you invoke this script depends on what MTA you use. For example with qmail you just create a dot-qmail file with the following line: | /path/to/your/script.php Similar mechanisms exists for courier-mta and postfix. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* The revolution will not be televised. */
