You say sendmail, so do it thusly: Edit /etc/aliases and add a line like phpmail: "| /pathto/your/php/script" and run newaliases to update your alias database. You'll also need to compile php as a standalone, and put as the first line of your php script #!/path/to/php -q Cheers -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA He's dead, Jim.
