Hi, is there someone who could explain me how to pass an email to a script when it arrives? I know how to do it with procmail but don't know about dropmail (which is the mailfilter used in ISPConfig). I've tried to open the custom rules box end entering a line as 'to /path/to/the/script' but this doesn't work and the email gets sent into the inbox as always. Any hints?
Do you talk about ispconfig 2 or ispconfig 3? This are two different software and they work completely different.
It doesn't seem to work. I've tried with: to "|/var/clients/client1/web1/.filter.php" and with: to "|/usr/bin/php -q /var/clients/client1/web1/.filter.php" but the email continues to be inserted into the mailbox. This script simply creates a file, and if I execute it by hand it does it, but not when an email arrives. Maybe I should look at the mail log ? (where is it?) or maybe I should verify if ispconfig really creates the dropmail filter, since version 3 is not completely stable?? rob
Till, I have exactly this: to "|/var/www/domain.com/web/includes/getEmail.php" But it will not work for me, infact the I get the error # tail -f /var/vmail/domain.com/billing/.sieve.log sieve: info: started log at Oct 27 00:17:49. main_script: line 5: error: unknown command 'to' (only reported once at first occurence). main_script: error: validation failed. sieve: info: started log at Oct 27 00:20:53. main_scrip
You mix up courier maildrop and dovecot sieve email filter rules. The above rule is for a courier email server with maildrop filtering, but you use a dovecot server with sieve filtering. Maildrop and sieve are two different filter languages, so you can not use a command from courier on a dovecot server. Dovecot and sieve that you use on your server do not support piping of emails to a shell script.
