Postfix Question: executing scripts

[Filippozeus]

Hi All,
Postfix is a wonderful MTA but its man pages are not friendly-readable.
So I'm stll here asking for help on configuration.

I have setup postfix to receive mail for different virtual users and all seems to work fine.

Now i need to deliver mail for user@virtualdomain.com to user_mailbox_file and also to a bash script (it's not a daemon, so it should be launched every time).
(this script will read mail headers and will publish statistics to an html file.

so,
Is it possible to tell postifix (in the aliases file) to deliver mail to a mailbox and also to execute a script for every new incoming mail ?


I hope yes !

thanks in advance

I'd use procmail. You can execute scripts via aliases, but I don't think there's a way to set up a single alias to cover all users.

This is working for me:

/etc/aliases:
myscript: "|/usr/local/mailscript"

now simply forwarding a copy of every mail for a user to usermailbox and to myscript make the script run.


Thank you !!
