Subject: [EXIM] Pipe problem
I have the following .forward file

#  more /usr/Bowler/.forward
# exim filter <<<< ----- Do not delete...
if $header_subject: contains "Data ready for FTP--Request"
then
        pipe "/usr/Bowler/seawifs_get.pl"
        finish
endif


Which, when it receives a message who's subject contains the required
string, causes the following in the log file...

The perl script works when I run it interactively, feeding in the
message via standard input, so I assume I've got a problem in my exim
setup. Any hints on what I need to do to get it to work???

TIA,
Bruce
