Assuming your server is some flavour of unix, have a look in the man pages: man 5 procmailrc (for details of the procmailrc files) man 5 procmailex (for examples of procmail recipes) A procmailrc file contains a set of rules on what to do when an email is received. One of the things you can do is pipe the body or headers of the email into an external script for processing. If you've compiled PHP as a standalone interpreter, that could be your PHP script directly. If you've compiled it as an apache module then things are a little more complicated, you'll have to find someway of submitting the email to the web server (using curl, snarf, wget or something similar I suppose). -robin -- Robin Vickery...............................................
