I have setup a postfix server and wanted to test the piping of mail to my perl script where i can make use of it and filter the mails.I wrote a test script for that which just logs the information in txt file. but i don't see any changes on sending the mail.

My postconf-n output:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix

virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps
virtual_minimum_uid = 1000

here's my transport:

[email protected] email_route

my main.cf declaration:

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

my master.cf declaration:

email_route   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
 flags=FR user=nobody argv=/etc/postfix/test.php -f $(sender) -- $(recipient)

and my php script:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$fh = fopen('/etc/postfix/testmail.txt','a');
fwrite($fh, "Hello it works\n");
fclose($fh);
?>

I am sending mails through telnet in localhost.
