Possible places to look: /var/spool/. /tmp/ /var/tmp/ Maybe something leave temporary files, or maybe your postfix is keeping files in a spool-directory. Maybe try the following to see where additional files are placed: du / PRE-newemail.txt have postfix parse a few emails du / POST-newemail.txt Then do a diff on these 2 text-files to see which directories had an increase.

Postfix basically runs out of the box. It will impersonate as your hosts hostname unless you configure it differently and accept messages for users that have an account on your server and will put them into /var/mail/username unless you specify something else. You could, for example, create an alias in (usually) /etc/aliases and pipe the incoming message to a script. You could also write your own little SMTP server and have Postfix send incoming messages to your server and it does whatever you instruct it to do with the message.

Thanks p...@rick..
I read man 8 pipe..
And what I understand is, I need to change the configuration somewhere here in
master.cf:
#
#
# Other external delivery methods.
#
#ifmailunix - n n - - pipe
# flags=F user=ftn argv=/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail -r $nexthop ($recipient)
#
#bsmtp unix - n n - - pipe
# flags=Fq. user=bsmtp argv=/usr/local/sbin/bsmtp -f $sender $nexthop
$recipient
#
#scalemail-backend unix - n n - 2 pipe
# flags=R user=scalemail argv=/usr/lib/scalemail/bin/scalemail-store
# ${nexthop} ${user} ${extension}
#
#mailman unix - n n - - pipe
# flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py
# ${nexthop} ${user}
Can I use .sh script here?
Thanks,
Sumit Arora

Thanks Erwan
As I'm new to postfix I couldn't understand what u said, I googled it but
didn't get any result useful to me.
Have you read man 8 pipe yet?
Can u plz explain with some examples..
You can find some examples in /etc/postfix/master.cf. Look for commands that
specify pipe in the command column.

Many Thanks,

Hi All,
I need to execute my code when I receive email on my postfix smtp server.
Can anybody tell me what I can do if I want to execute my java function
when I receive email.
Also I need my whole email content in my java function.
It will be great if anyone can show me some examples.
Look at the pipe transport, its purpose is exactly to pipe mail to an
external program.

Where i can see the received emails
I have done the basic configuration of postfix on my fedora10. Can anybody tell me where I can see the received emails. Do I need to setup any database for storing emails? I just want to be sure that I'm getting emails or not. Thanks, Sumit Arora
Need help to forward emails
Hi All, I need to execute my code when I receive email on my postfix smtp server. Sorry I couldn't understand what Wietse said: You can pipe-to-command with ~/.forward (see man 5 aliases) and with the pipe(8) delivery agent (see man 8 pipe). Can anybody tell me what I can do if I want to execute my java function when I receive email. Also I need my whole email content in my java function. It will be great if anyone can show me some examples. Many Thanks, Sumit Arora
Need help to change the Postfix code
Hi All, I'm new to postfix, I need to execute my code when I receive a new email on my postfix smtp server. Please give me some idea, where I can get the postfix code documentation so that I can change its code. All and any type of suggestions are most welcome, I'll really appreciate. Thanks in advance, Sumit Arora
RE: Need help to change the Postfix code
Thanks egoitz Ram. Actually I don't need the whole functionality of Postfix, I also need to cut the code for my requirement only. My requirement is to just receive the email and send the body and attachments to another component. There is no requirement of sending any email from my postfix server. Now my question is, is it worth to cut the code and use the only module which I need or I should go with the whole postfix?

Please give me some idea, where I can get the postfix code documentation so that I can change its code. Depending on what the code does... you could run a script passing content to it via pipe in master.cf. This way is like maildrop mda works for example. What exactly does you're code?. All and any type of suggestions are most welcome, I'll really appreciate. Thanks in advance, Sumit Arora Ram wrote: To change postfix code for such a thing is absolutely unnecessary You can run a custom script in postfix by piping the mail to a script via aliases , or a master.cf entry
