This issue has been discussed several times on this list already.. Isn't it in the howto or readme or something? (if not it should be)
In the alias table of dbmail you have to use ! Instead of pipe (|).. Even tho' php seems to be a weird solution for piping messages, but this should do the trick.

In what file ? In test.txt ? If you want to append to a file try: deliver_to: '|cat - >> /tmp/test.txt' If you want to pipe to a script try: deliver_to: '|/myscript.sh' where myscript.sh is really a script. > > Do i have this all wrong? -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list Dbmail@dbmail.org https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
