I'm trying to pipe from postfix to a command. According to Postfix logs it worked, but when I check the command it didn't. This is a fresh postfix install. This is my alias file:
# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster: root
support: "| /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.
php"
I run sendmail
[email protected] then type it and then on a separate line type . and it goes. I check the postfix log /var/log/mail.log and this is what it states:
Nov 2 15:32:33 server3 postfix/local[13284]: 42C429E0B5: to=<
[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=156, delays=156/0.01/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.php)
So according to that it worked, but it doesn't. If I run echo 'text' | /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.
php it does work just fine.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
I know piping is working, I originally checked it by running that command above WITHOUT the quotes, so just support: | /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.
php What it did there was append my email header and all to the file pipe.
php. So I know postfix was piping it, but when I put in the quotes it says it's going but it's not according to my script.
