calling script from .forward
Hi guys,
I'd like to execute a script whenever an email comes to an account:
here is my .forward file:
|/home/dev/perlScriptTest.pl
Here is my perlScriptTest.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
open LOG, ">/home/dev/logfile" or die "Can't create logfile: $!";
print LOG "test";
For some reason, when I send email to the account, perl script is never executed?
If I execute script from the command line, "logfile" is successfully created.
Any ideas why>?
Thanks a lot!

Re: calling script from .forward
Works fine for me.
Except I had to replace
#!/usr/bin/perl
with
#!/opt/perl5/bin/perl
in my script.
Have you checked the mail logfile ? This is usually /var/adm/syslog/mail.log, but if not there look in /etc/syslog.conf for the mail.debug entry.
Is the postmaster getting any bounced mail which originates from you ?

Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
