In my experience I have only used qmail-send to send outgoing mail. Maybe both will work okay... but I think the right one to use is qmail-send. > If I do something like script.php > msg.file I recieve adequate output > (binary data by the way) in file.

Unfortunately PHP is not the best candidate for shell-scripting where you have complicated piping, signals, etc.. You can also try writing your message into a file ... then call popen("qmail-remote < my_input", "r"); > Any suggestions? If all else fails... use Perl. :-) -- Andrew W.
