sendmail pipe to a program.
Hello,

I recently upgraded our server from Solaris 8 to 9. The sendmail is unabled to pipe the email to a perl script. I can send and received email to local and external mail, but the script did not get the email. There is no error in the log and I could not find any thing on the web.

Here is the result for the email aliases:

cmiquota@xxx.com... aliased to "| /home/cmi/bin/cmi_quota.pl"

Thanks in advance for your help.

gpgmailtunl

GPGMAILTUNL(1p) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   GPGMAILTUNL(1p)

NAME

       gpgmailtunl - Encrypts an email message into the body of another email.

SYNOPSIS

       gpgmailtunl [options] --encrypt | --decrypt

DESCRIPTION

       gpgmailtunl is a filter program that either encrypts an email message using the Gnu Privacy Guard and sends it to another recipient or
       decrypt an email message and forwards unencrypted to another destination.

       It can be used to exchange emails across an open network betweeen two trusted systems.

TYPICAL USAGE

       This program is intended to run from program like procmail or sendmail to create an email tunnel between two systems.  Of course this is
       not as secure as using gpg as an end user program, it may be convenient in certain case.

ENCRYPTION

       To encapsulates an email within another you pipe the message to gpgmailtunl.

   OPTIONS
       GetOptions( \%opt, "encrypt", "decrypt", "sign", "secret-file=s",	  "from=s", "to=s", "subject=s", "homedir=s", "local-user=s",
		"recipient=s",	      )
	 or usage;

       to  This is the address to which the encrypted message will be sent. This is the only required fields.

       recipient
	   This sets the keyid that will be used to encrypt the outgoing message.  If unset, gpgmailtunl will try to find a key matching the to
	   option.

       subject
	   Sets the subject of the outgoing message. This defaults to "Encrypted mail".

       from
	   Sets the From header line of the outgoing message which will contains the encrypted one. sendmail will provides a default one if this
	   is not set.

       sign
	   If this option is used, the outgoing message will be signed. In this case you should probably use to local-user and secret-file
	   options.

       secret-file
	   File from which the secret to unlock the private used to sign the message can be read.

       local-user
	   The keyid of the user that should sign the outgoing message. The default user will be used if not specified.

       homedir
	   Sets an alternate gpg home directory. (This is where the keyrings are stored.)

DECRYPTION

       To extract an email to be forwarded to the final user you pipe the encrypted email to gpgmailtunl using the decrypt switch.

       Once decrypted, the encapsulated email message will be sent to the original destinator of the message.

   OPTIONS
       homedir
	   Sets an alternate gpg home directory. (This is where the keyrings are stored.)

       secret-file
	   File from which the secret to unlock the private used to decrypt the message can be read.
