Well it looks like your script is being run - what should your script do? > sendmail manual seems to indicate that it just pipes the e-mail message into > this script, then delivers whatever comes out of standard output, but it > doesn't seem to work. the script should run with the mail message (headers + body) supplied on STDIN. sendmail doesn't do anything with the STDOUT from your script. I'm nut sure what you mean by 'delivers whatever comes out' - where would it deliver it? If you need output to go somewhere such as a file or emailed somewhere, you will need to explicitly do this. if you want to quickly to assue yourself that the script is running, try making it create a file in /tmp or somewhere else that it has permissions - sendmail is should not be running as root (probably 'mailnull'). - Barry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
