[Gllug] Using sendmail to execute PHP scripts

[Peter Adamson]

Well thanks for the advice.
But the machine I'm doing this on is our companys mailserver.

I don't really want to be installing other MTA's & stuff,
and it looks like that needs Postfix. (which I assume is another MTA)

cheers,
Peter

You could try running Postfix instead.
The pipe command seems to do what you are after
http://www.postfix.org/pipe.8.html

Apologies if I'm talking nonsense - I've never had call to use this
command.
