sendmail-programdelivery

[Martin Christov]

Hi all,

I am running sendmail (8.9.3 (PHNE_18546))under HPUX-11.00.
I try to configure programdelivery in my aliases:
rcpt :"|/usr/local/bin/syrz18.pl"
This is a simple perl script which creates a output file using data from STDIN:
...
open (OUTFIL, ">/tmp/fil.out");
while () {
print OUTFIL $_;
}
...
If I test it with
bdf|/usr/local/bin/syrz18.pl
the /tmp/fil.out contains my bdf-output.

If I send a mail to rcpt@otto.com I can find a correct logging entry but the mailtext is not put into /tmp/fil.out.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

First, I would check to see that the program is actually being executed by getting it to create a file in /tmp.
