Re: Capturing Emails

> What is the best way to capture an email sent to a server so > that I can copy it and send it to a number of emails selected from a db. > Here's one way to do it: - You'll need to compile PHP as a cgi executable (http://php.net/manual/en/install.commandline.php). - If you are using sendmail you can set up an alias that will direct the email to a program (you can get this same behavior with other mail delivery agents as well). - Have a PHP script that reads from standard input to get the email message (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php). - From there you can do whatever you need to with the email. If you need to parse the email into pieces and/or deal with HTML email, attachments, etc. then you can check out the source code that runs http://www.p3mail.com/ He has a number of libraries available that will help take care of that. - Jamie
