Email SYS command to SME 5
« on: April 30, 2002, 10:34:26 PM »
Hi,

I appreciate that this might sound abit off a strange request, but I am trying to have my SME 5 server run a perl script when an email is received by a specific user.

For example if I send an email to dothis@myisp.net with a subject of task-1 I need the sme server to go and run whatever script applies to task-1 label.

My thoughts are along the lines of seting up a dedicated account, pass all email through a script which pulls the relavant details out, then calls the appropriate script. I am OK with the perl side of things, just can seem to get the forwarding to the initial script working.

Any ideas (other than don't do this due to security risks) appreciated ?

Regards

BJ
