Piping all mail for a single domain to a PHP script (aliases file)

[Simon]

Hi

Complete newbie.

Could you please tell me what to put in my aliases file, so that all
incoming mail for *anything*@domain.com is sent to a PHP script on my
box.

I have a number of domains hosted on my box, but usually my mail is
hosted elsewhere. On this occasion, I need emails to be piped
directly to a PHP script.

Cheers

I would suggest you two stage configuration:
a) deliver *@domain.com to local account
You may use FEATURE(`virtusertable') with the following entry in
virtusertable file:

@domain.com user-n

b1) use ~user-n/.forward file to execute php script

"|exec /usr/bin/php -f _php-script_"

[remember about smrsh http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3#3.11 ]

b2) if you use Linux then most likely your sendmail uses procmail as its
local mailer procmail => IMHO it would be better to execute php
script from procmail script

HOW TO TEST IT:
As root execute:
sendmail -d60.5 -d27.2 -bv j...@domain.com
It should show virtusertable lookups and ~/.forward processing

P.S.
You have forgotten to mention if you want to pass envelope sender and
envelope recipient(s) to the script => I have chosen simpler variant
without passing :-)

You could also define a new mailer (that pipes directly in to STDIN of
your PHP script) that is used via MailerTable.

I have done this for a few different things and it works out well. It
also does not require the use of VirtUserTable or Procmail or .forward
files.
