Question Cent OS run script on incoming e-mail from specific (external) mail


Hi everybody!

We are running a server (Cent OS based) that we use as an Asterisk server.

Also the server handles some mails for the telephony system etc.
Now we have a specific need, that if the server receives an incoming mail from a specific address (external address), we want a script to start, preferable would be a PHP script (PHP is installed on the server).

What would we need and what do we need to do?
The server has Dovecot running, if that might help.
What other info do you need?

Kind regards,
Dennis

Hi and welcome to LQ

If you want to run the script based on the sender's address, then you should use procmail. See here for an example.

Regards
