Hello,
I am looking at writing a simple script that would add and remove people from a mailing list. However, what I would like is for when someone emails something like: [e-mail:mailing_list-subscribe@testexampledomain.com], for it to tell my script to check that email box. Is there a way that linux could fire a script every time it recieves an email to a particular domain?
Thanks for your help,
Joseph |

Definitely!! If you are using procmail as your local delivery agent (I'm not sure if you are), then just add a procmail recipe, like this:
:0 c
| /path/to/script.php
That is all that's involved. Any mail sent will execute that script. You can then get fancy and do things like this:
:0 Hw
* Subject: Unsubscribe
| /path/to/unsubscribe.php
:0 Hw
* Subject: Subscribe
| /path/to/subscribe.php
Fun fun! :-)
best,
dave |
