run a perl.script upon receiving an email in Sendmail
Hi All
I am newbie with Sendmail and Linux in general. We use sendmail for outgoing and incoming mails.
Once our server receives a certain email
xxx@yyy.com we would
like to run a PERL script doing some task wiht it.
Can you address me a little bit on that topic?
In order to do that the incoming email should have some
specific format?
Does exist some language for handling events in sendmail?
Kind Regards
ManuStone

sendmailconfig
SENDMAILCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual SENDMAILCONFIG(8)
NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems
SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload]
DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.
In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will
preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.
Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
avoid this question.
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
actual sendmail configuration file
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration
/etc/mail/sendmail.ct
names of trusted users in the standard configuration
