I'm still trying to puzzle out the relationship between the procmailrc file and the maillist.php script used by FUDforum to process incoming mail. I was able to get the system to work on a test server that I control, but I haven't been able to get it to work on a hosted system yet.

Here's my guess about how the system basically works:

the procmailrc file checks incoming email for a specific mail account
when an incoming email is found, the maillist.php script is run
the maillist.php script adds the email to the specified forum, and deletes the email

Is this more or less correct?

Thanks. -Steve

Almost, except that mailist.php does not delete the e-mail. Procmail simply does not forward the e-mail to your mailbox, meaning that it only goes to the mailist.php.

Thanks, that's good to know!

That leads to another question, but I'll post it as another topic. -Steve
