Hi,

I'm having issues where procmail isn't available on the server my FUDforum is installed on, and security issues mean that running php scripts isn't possible. Currently the gateway on the server only sends mail to the mailing list, but can't recieve posts from the mailing list

The Server Admin has suggested I look into a php wrapper binary to get around this problem, however I'm a little out of my league with that. Apparently a wrapper would allow the pipe to be run through one users account, and send stuff to another users account?

Can someone help by suggesting a wrapper binary that should work with FUDforum's maillist.php, and sendmail, and a suggested way of setting it up?

You can often pipe incoming e-mail via a .forward file if it is supported.

How does this work with users? Is the .forward file run by root, or by the actual user?

I believe the current issue is that the pipe is attempted to be run as the user, however that user doesn't have access in the apache group, and the Administrator wants to keep it that way (the issues with not having control over the the server).

The .forward file is located inside your home directory. To avoid permissions issues use the forum's admin lock/unlock file control panel to unlock the forum's files. This will allow scripts running under your user account to access forum's files.
