thanks for explaination of "dummy" reference. In the line repserver unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=repserver argv=/home/repserver/repserv -d $recipient Does the bold area mean create a user with adduser called repserver make a directory mkdir: repserver and >with touch a file called repserv and i assume place the actual perl script reserver.pl >in the repserver directory robin
argv must contain the full path to your Perl script (including your Perl script), e.g. like this: argv=/home/repserver/repserv/repserver.pl
postfix /script in /etc/postfix/main.cf relay_domians = rep.robin.net I was just wondering if the "relay" entry i have in the /etc/master.cf which is: # When relaying mail as backup MX, disable fallback_relay to avoid MX loops relay unix - - - - - smtp -o fallback_relay= has any effect with above relay_domains line in main.cf? at the moment rep.robin.net points to the MX record mail.robin.net with a weight of 10 robin
Below is the final /etc/postfix/master.cf with the 2 lines inserted in bold. is this exactly how it should look? # # Postfix master process configuration file.

falko wrote "You need just this line:" see last post ok thanks for presenting the line correctly. then where does this line go? repserver unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=repserver argv=/home/repserv/repserver.pl -d $recipient I thought it was a the bottom of the master.cf file? robin
falko many thanks for your assistance on this thread.

Your script is called, so that is fine, but there seem to be errors in your script. Please try to debug it. Does this happen only when you send from postmaster/admin, or also when you send from other accounts?
i have not tried other accounts. I was sending a mail to a friend because I ran the script from the comand line not in repserver but in another accont as repserver does not have root privlages.? The mail i was sending from admin was just to tell my friend that I found some errors in the script and thats when the mail came back I have now taken the lines out of postfix untill I can fix the bugs in repserver.pl. robin
