Postfix: Send email to PHP

Question

Greetings,

Anyone know of a good way to send an email to my postfix server which then opens a PHP script to process this email? I could do cron, but I\'d prefer to do it

Answer 1

There are several options; the easiest being to use a .forward file containing: |/path/to/your/script in the $HOME of your user.

Drawback: It's invoked once per mail Advantage: It's called with exactly one recipient and many parameters are passed using environment variables.
