Hi .

I use RH6.0 and Sendmail with good results.

Now i have a strange problem :

I want to send and Email to virtual user and redirect email
to a externel program .

The program is a mail processor that print a special File .

The program name is /usr/bin/process_email.pl , and read from standard
input
line per line and process the mail .

The procedure that i make is this :

1) create a user "processor"
2) link /usr/bin/process_email.pl in /etc/smrsh
3) make word executable /usr/bin/process_email.pl
4) create a .forward in home directory of user processor and write into
    " | /usr/bin/process_email.pl .

When i send a email to processor sendmail respond to me message SENT but

the program /usr/bin/process_email.pl is no executed .

If i execute from bash : smrsh -c process_email.pl , program is executed
.

I allegate a portion of sendmail log :

------------------------------------

Oct  7 00:27:38 massimo sendmail[3385]: AAA03385: from=root, size=33,
class=0, pri=30033, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<199910062227.AAA03385@massimo.everex.it>, relay=root@localhost

Oct  7 00:27:38 massimo sendmail[3387]: AAA03385: to="|
/usr/bin/process_email.pl",
ctladdr= processor (503/100), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=prog, stat=Sen

-----------------------------------

I think that i make all right but it dosn't Work .

Thank a lot for all that respond to my need of Help .
