Goodmorning Martin,

don’t know if WordPress changed the code you typed, but i think it should be

tincho2: “| php -q /etc/postfix/emaillistener.php”

Hi Jeroem, i tried the example but using virtual aliases (/etc/postfix/virtual) and it did not work. It keeping saying that the user does not exist. Any ideas?

tincho2@mydomain.com tincho2@email2.mydomain.com, “| php -q /etc/postfix/emaillistener.php”

Thanks! Martin.

Thanks I got it to work. Appears that I was editing the wrong alias file. I was using the /etc/aliases instead of /etc/postfix/aliases. When I put the php script in both it worked fine. Thanks for this post!

@tecs, better to give it a safe place. But as long as you point the /etc/aliases line to the file, it should work. So something along the lines of

email+to+redirect: “| php -q /home/username/Desktop/script.php”

should work.

I have the aliases file setup the same as you have it here and the permissions set correctly, but when i send an email nothing happens. No errors or anything. Do I have to have the script in a certain place? Its just on my desktop right now.

Hey, I've been looking for examples to help handle incoming email in PHP and came across this. You may be interested to read my blog post Receiving Incoming Email in Rails on the same subject but for Rails programmers. I know the code is in Rails but the principals of the article should still make sense.

@johnny, I chmodded the files to 777 to make sure the script had the necessary rights to read/write them.

So what was the solution? How did you make postfix run the script with the right privileges??? thanks!!!!
