It depends on your MAIL SERVER (and on your OS.) For Linux I think SendMail can forward mails to an external program For WinNT I know POSTOFFICE allows this. But PostOffice is commercially released not for free. In this case the mails are redirected to the program via STDIN Bye N. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Jeremy Bowen <ocarules@webnationinc.com> A: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Data: giovedì 18 gennaio 2001 20.32 Oggetto: [PHP] Can a PHP program recieve an e-mail and write it to a file??? >Hey, > >Here is what I need to do, I need to have a PHP script recieve an e-mail and >write it to a file after erasing whatever was in the file before. > >I suppose that it should have some sort of authentication built in to prevent >people from e-mailing PHP code that could be processed and do bad things. > >Is there any way to do this?
