The install script is wonderfully self-documenting and the admin config pages similarly helpful. But where are the detailed instructions for integrating with a mailing list?
The Mailing List Manager tell me that
/home/<account_name>/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1
is the execution line that you will need to pipe the mailing list messages to.
I'll assume the file is a result of piping the messages and I don't have to create it, because it doesn't exist now.
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
EDIT: I assumed wrong; maillist.php is a PHP script.
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
So, how do I pipe the messages to this file? I assume that is what the following example code does.
:0:
* ^TO_.*php-general(at)lists(dot)php(dot)net
| /home/forum/F/test/maillist.php 1
I assume I have to change the email address to the same address as I provided to the Mailing List Manager and change the target of the pipe to exactly the same path as the execution line.
Now for the tricky part: how to use this pipe command? Do I set something to run on a cron job?
Thankyou in advance for any help.
System:
Apache 1.3.33 (Unix) [Redhat actually]
PHP version 4.3.10
No shell access
