Re: [PHP] Mail Question

Yes we are using qmail. So all I have to do is create the .qmail-info file and have that point to a php script?

Does anyone know of a way to achieve the following on
linux/apache/qmail/php server

 I want to have an email address that when people send a message to,

a php script is triggered and the data of the email is extracted and
inserted into a DB for use in a ticketing system.

I know how to do all of the above except how to trigger a php script
from an incoming email.

It depends somewhat on what MTA you're using to handle that incoming mail. For
example in qmail you just create a dot-qmail file which points to the program
you wish to use to handle that mail. Courier and sendmail both have a similar
mechanism.
