    <p>I am attempting to do some custom email forwarding. #1 I am on a shared server, which is using qmail, and optionally procmail.</p> <p>What I am trying to accomplish is some custom email forwarding of one address, based on a schedule. For example, I have a schedule of employees that are working on each weekday, and I have a php script that selects a random employee's email address that is working today.</p> <p>So I'm trying to just call that script in procmail, and output the result(which is a single email address) on the forward line:</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>#Something LOGFILE=/usr/home/myname/procmail-log VERBOSE=yes EXITCODE=99 MAILDIR=/usr/boxes/myname DEFAULT=/usr/boxes/myname/mybox SHELL=/bin/sh MYVAR=$(php -q /usr/home/myname/testemail/emailtester.php) :0 ! $MYVAR </code></pre> <p>This is not working. At all. I have also tried:</p> <pre><code>MYVAR=`php /usr/home/myname/testemail/emailtester.php` </code></pre> <p>as well as just piping it into the forward line:</p> <pre><code>:0 ! |php /usr/home/myname/testemail/emailtester.php </code></pre> <p>I am COMPLETELY out of my element here... I tried to not even use procmail, and I just piped the whole email over to a php script, from qmail. I need the headers to stay intact, like a normal forward, and that proved to be difficult with PHP, and a little beyond my scope.( I managed to create an infinite email loop) So, I would rather not try that again.</p> <p>I could just try to script this in perl, which I have never used, but I need the schedule to be administerable from a web interface, or at least in a user friendly way.</p> <p>Any help, or suggestions would be appreciated at this point, thanks</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Well, since I cant put code in a comment, I'll just edit here.</p> <p>Now getting this in my log:</p> <pre><code>Folder: /usr/local/bin/php /usr/home/idnani/testemail/emailtester.ph 1679 "rocmail: Executing "/usr/local/bin/php,/usr/home/idnani/testemail/emailtester.php Could not open input file: /usr/home/idnani/testemail/emailtester.php </code></pre> <p>When I use with :0fw I get:</p> <pre><code>"rocmail: Executing "/usr/local/bin/php,/usr/home/idnani/testemail/emailtester.php Could not open input file: /usr/home/idnani/testemail/emailtester.php procmail: [69907] Thu Jun 16 14:04:17 2011 procmail: Program failure (1) of "/usr/local/bin/php" procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded </code></pre> <p>EDIT: Figured it out!</p> <p>Found the correct way after MUCH trial and error.</p> <p>Don't even use the pipe at, all, and you do need the ! forward symbol:</p> <p>Final Rule:</p> <pre><code>:0 ! `/usr/local/bin/php -f $HOME/emailtest/emailtester.php` </code></pre> <p>So simple... I'm a little mad it took me hours to figure this out, thanks everyone for helping to point me in the right direction!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
