[Dovecot] Antwort: Re: Running a script when a mail arrives

[r.lang at scan-plus.de]

Hi,

We use qmails 'qmail-command' - feature. For a certain virtual domain all 
mails
are filtered/sorted by a filterscript of our own. Check if your incoming 
mailserver
or MTA has such a capability. For qmail its as simple as placing a .qmail 
-File in the
users home directory with '|./path/to/scipt', the script getting the mail 
on its
stdin, and some more useful information via the environment.

Greetz,
