Subject: Re: [exim] send mail to a script
Kieth, Heiko,

Thank you for the replies. I'm on Linux (prtty sure it's CentOS).

Heiko- Thanks. That's what I read in past emails. Can I do this with regular expressions (like unsubscribe-randomnumber*) instead of normal users (like mailman-unsubscribe)? Also, do I need to modify the exim.conf file then?

Thanks so much for the help.

If I didn't misunderstand your question,
the most simple solution could be about like this:

In /etc/aliases just setup an alias:

local-part: "|/full/path/to/your/script"

(Of course, replace "local-part" with your special recipient and
/full/...scipt as well with the approbiate path name)

If your config is somewhat "standard", this should work out of the box.
