- Thread starter starbuck
- Start date
In the home directory of the user who will receive the email - create a file called .forward
Let's say you want to push (pipe, in unix-ees) your emails through a script called /usr/local/bin/mail_filter.sh so in that .forward file you would enter the following line.
[tt]
|/usr/local/bin/mail_filter.sh
[/tt]
