Hi Cobalt-developers,
I have a little problem. You might have a quick advice for my issue that is givin me a lot of pressure. I need to resolve this nice problem using sendmail. Basically I need to say to sendmail that as soon as it receive an email in a pop3 mailbox it must generate an autoreply message. A kind of vacation e-mail. The point is that when the autoreply is generated it must execute a script which will process some code and send an e-mail with the result of the process attached. The script will execute a connection to the many whois database in the world and execute the whois query using the whois protocol. I have already done that using php with the use of classes. Fucking hard man. Unfortunately PHP has been the wrong choice... anyway. I think I'll use PERL or C. I am running out of time... sigh!!! Do you know if sendmail can offer this utility or I need to find a special MTA/MUA. If sendmail can do that, can you advice me about where to find information to resolve this problem and what quicly I should do. I had some inputs from the mailing list but I would like to see what you think about this as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- You can invoke your script from an entry in ".forward". If you want this for all users, an alternative would be to write your own local delivery agent that runs your script after delivering. Your special delivery agent could pass of the message to the standard delivery agent for the actual delivery. -NWR man forward Usually this is set via ForwardPath, see doc/op/op.* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Massimo Amelio Jelok IT Ltd London UK +44(0)7946115945 _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
