Re: [Exim] Question regarding pipe config

Hi,

Please accept my apologies if I'm wrong, but my first thought is that you
should read the exim manual, carefully. You are trying something that is
relatively complex, and with new tools, and exim is a very configurable tool.

Use the CL args to control how savemail does its job. Use standard input of
the perl script for the message itself. If you need headers for the fields in
the mysql db, you might like to put specific headers (e.g. h_subject?) on the
CLA as then you can use exim's processing to extract them.

The 0 should not be there (look at your exim sources for the example).

Don't get trapped into thinking that the name of a router or director is
important to exim, other than to link things together.

command = ZBTAMAIL_SAVEEMAIL

will cause the message to be piped to the command. Look at the perl manual for
ways of reading standard input.
