I want to be able to forward an incoming email to a script, so that the script will be run when the email arrives (rather than having to be started by a web page request). I understand that Sendmail can send an incoming email to a script by using a .forward file (here's my source on that: http://www.evolt.org/article/Incomin..._PHP/18/27914/
) but I'm unable to make it work. Does anyone know how these .forward files work, or where they're supposed to be located? Also, will it forward anything that comes to my domain or how do I specify which email addresses it will forward?
