Hello all. I have a slightly odd setup here, using amavisd-new to scan for virus's and spam on one computer (so two sendmail queue's and the amavisd-new queue). I am then using Cyrus as the mail store. I am looking to send an email back to any one sending a mail to an email address that does not exist in cyrus (I am using the aliases file to create mailing lists). So to create the response, I have created a tiny bash script, that users formail to grab a couple of headers, and then a pre-written generic reply. The script looks some thing like this. ---------------------------- formail -r -t > headers.txt cat reply_text >> headers.txt cat headers.txt | /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -f dougs_test@xxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------- /etc/alias file: dougs_test: "|/etc/smrsh/formail_reply.sh" I took an email from evolution and saved it as a plain text file, and then tried cat test_email | smrsh -c formail_reply.sh When I do this, an email is sent to the required address. However, when I try sending an email to dougs_test@xxxxxxxxxxx I get the following line in my log file. Apr 29 10:03:32 helium sendmail[13108]: i3TA3WIP013108: Authentication-Warning: helium.firebox.com: mail set sender to dougs_test@xxxxxxxxxxx using -f Apr 29 10:03:32 helium sendmail[13108]: i3TA3WIP013108: from=dougs_test@xxxxxxxxxxx, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200404291003.i3TA3WIP013108@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=mail@localhost Apr 29 10:03:33 helium sm-mta-tx[13103]: i3TA3W3w013102: to="|/etc/smrsh/formail_reply.sh", ctladdr=<dougs_test@xxxxxxxxxxx> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=30962, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent However no reply is actually received, the headers.txt file also is not updated, so it appears the script is not being run. Any one got any helpful suggestions? Doug
