I am trying to pass mails to a particular user into a small program which
for the moment will just copy them to a file. Later I intend that it should
do various clever bits of processing and send out responses etc., but for
the moment i am keeping it simple. My .forward file for that user is
| /usr/home/another/foo.exe
with permissions as follows...
-rwxrwxrwx 1 another another 37 Jun 25 18:31 .forward
user another is set to go to the right place, and without the .forward in
place mail works.
I have included the following directors
address_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_output
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
file = .forward
no_verify
check_ancestor
filter
and when I send mail to it I get the following turning up in my msglog
directory:-
1998-06-25 19:02:00 fireback@???
<fireback@???>: u
serforward director deferred: <fireback@???> - bad mode
(100777)
for /home/fireback/.forward (userforward director)
So I guess I need to know what mode .forward should have? Or am I missing
something more blatant? I have had no problems running the same thing under
sendmail, but this is the first time I have played with pipes under exim.
Many thanks,
Rufus
