ok...
so when i do cat /tmp/somemmail | maillist.php 1
that will work....i get the message in the forums(EGW) this is after heavily modifying the maillist.php to get it to work in EGW...(there was a problem with mysql and the fud_sql_lnk)
well now when i put a bash script of mallist.php directly into .qmail-mymaillist it doesnt work...the bash script will write to /tmp/pipe but it wont pipe to maillist.php....i dont know why it doesnt work....someone please help me trouble shoot...

nope that doesnt work...
just so you know my setup...
here is my .qmail-mylist file
|/home/mygroup/groupfiles/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 1
|preline /home/mailman/mail/mailman post karyakars-test
this doesnt work an causes the mail to get stuck...i think its because qmail require you to exit(0); i put that in the maillist.php but that didnt work either...
so i created a shell script to simply pipe...here is my shell script called fudtrap.sh
#`(cat > /tmp/pipe)`
`(cat |/usr/bin/php $1 $2)`
#/bin/cat /tmp/pipe| $1 $2 > /tmp/pipe2
#`(cat /tmp/pipe |$1 $2)`
exit 0
change my .qmail-mylist to
|/path/to/my/fudtrap.sh /home/mygroup/groupfiles/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 1
|preline /home/mailman/mail/mailman post karyakars-test
that doesnt work..however the mail goes throuigh and doesnt get stuck in queue...it also registers in my mailman but for some wierd reson it doesnt pipe to maillist.php correct.....
however if i pipe to /tmp/pipe instead of maillist.php it works...also ifi run this command from shell it workd... if i run for example cat /tmp/pipe | /path/to/my/fudtrap.sh /home/mygroup/groupfiles/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 1
it works....
its so wierd i dont know whats wrong....
im pulling my hair out...although i did fix the common errors for maillist.php and egw (the db.inc error)

I've got it working with qmail using a different approach.
I subscribe an addtional user to my mailing list, lets call him fudlist1(at)mylistdomain(dot)com, and I direct my mail through procmail.
In .procmailrc I have:
:0:
* ^TO_.*fudlist1(at)mylistdomain(dot)com
{
EXITCODE=99
:0
| /path/to/scripts/maillist.php 8
}
In this way mail is forwarded to the forum only after it has been through the mailing list (ezmlm in my case) and so is subject to restrictions on subscribers etc imposed there.
Your way would, I think, mean that any emails to the list address, even non-subscribers to your list or forum, would automatically be forwarded to maillist.php, which may not be what you want if a spammer gets hold of your list address...

Where did u put .procmailrc....i have virtual domains with vpopmail...will that work?
|
The usual place for .procmailrc is your home directory.
I don't know vpopmail and I don't know about virtual domains.
