Re: [PHP] forwarding from virtual email account to real email account
Binay, I guess you could set up PHP to listen on port 25 and rewrite the headers of mail messages containing aliases, but that seems like a lot of work for what could easily be handled by a (much quicker) MTA.

Your meaning to lazily ask very vague questions (in a manner unbefitting the subject matter, using made-up terminology, while professing to be a professional) in the hope that some is going to spoonfeed you a complete solution which you can then roll out to your customer (probably my customer until he got the braindead idea to outsource) in five minutes flat; if I understand you correctly.

Contact your ISP for assistance on setting this up. If you run your own mail server look at the docs. If you want to use PHP for this (not recommended because the mail server can do it already) you need to write a script which check email on one account and then email it to the other accounts.

It's probably do-able in B - all you're doing is feeding a data stream from the MTA to a program. If, however, you're doing it without involving and MTA, you may have problems. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks in adance, Binay in the server configuration software (eg PLESK or cPAnel) you can create email address that just redirect as soon as an email is sent to them, so Im not sure where PHP ties in, but this could be what you are looking for? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
