> Hi Dan!
Hey Andy thanks for your time!
I'll check the docs about those three ideas.
I knew there was a way, thanks.
Any idea off the top of your head where in the docs I should look?
If not don't worry I'll find it, I just needed a shove in the right direction.

Where would I do this? In the exim.pl file?

I like this option best since I already parse email a lot. And I might not parse
the log file right and miss something.
Excuse the Exim newbie question, but where would I put those lines above (exim.conf ??)
driver = redirect
senders = domain.com
data = |/home/external_program.pl
no_verify
no_expn
pipe_transport = address_pipe
unseen
And that would send the email into 'data''s STDIN and then continue processing as if nothing happened for any email being sent from domain.com?
If that's all true then I'm all set!
Thanks again Andy!
