Trying to pipe email to php script

[erikcw]

Hi all,

I am trying to setup an email pipe script.

I found this example at [evolt.org...]

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
// script chmoded to 755
// alias: [e-mail]: ¦/home/erik/404pipe.php

// read from stdin
$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$email = "";
while (!feof($fd)) {
$email .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);

// handle email
$lines = explode("\n", $email);

// empty vars
$from = "";
$subject = "";
$headers = "";
$message = "";
$splittingheaders = true;

for ($i=0; $i<count($lines); $i++) {
if ($splittingheaders) {
// this is a header
$headers .= $lines[$i]."\n";

// look out for special headers
if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
$subject = $matches[1];
}
if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
$from = $matches[1];
}
} else {
// not a header, but message
$message .= $lines[$i]."\n";
}

if (trim($lines[$i])=="") {
// empty line, header section has ended
$splittingheaders = false;
}
}

?>

The problem I am running into is that exim keeps bouncing messages back

Mail headers yada yada...

The mail is acctually processed by the script just fine (I have it setup to mail() some of the content back to me for testing purposes.

Any ideas on how I can get rid of this error?

Thanks!

I don't really get what the error is telling you.

It looks like the mail program is having issues though not php per se. Any more info that might help narrow it down?

I have other pipe scripts setup that don't create bounce errors.

Here is a full bounce:

[jatar_k]

and the accounts that it is trying to send to actually exist?

this just looks weird to me
pipe to ¦/usr/local/bin/php -c /usr/local/lib -q -f /home/erik/404pipe.php

404pipe? is that where it is trying to send it or where it is ending up?

[erikcw]

404pipe.php is the final destination. (the contents of the script are included in my first post).

The script is being executed by the pipe correctly. But this bounce keeps happening. So it appears that the script is setup correctly in that it is proccessing correcly on the php end. My thought is that the php script is either returning something in standard output or something in exim isn't configured correctly...

Ant thoughts?
