Thanks. I tried "| cat > /tmp/foo" and the postfix config is fine. I should have done that first - I just assumed I had misunderstood something about postfix and botched the postfix config.
Our /usr/local/bin/forwardstdin must have some courier environment dependency in it since it's been around for a while.

You can run the program by hand, like this: $ /usr/local/bin/forwardstdin admin.CUSTOMERWEBSITE.com 80 \ /servlet/CUSTOMERWEBSITE.emailstatus < inputfile Run this as an unprivileged user, not as root. inputfile contains an email message in RFC5322 format: From: u...@example.com To: u...@example.com Subject: whatever blah blah blah. Until manual tests produce satisfactory results, there is no point to integrate the program with Postfix. Wietse
