Piping Email to PHP Script

[hbweb500]

I am trying to route an email from my gmail account to jott@hbweb500.x10hosting.com. I set up an automatic forward to route the email to a script (the path should be correct, /home/hbweb500/public_html/jott/test.php).

Unfortunately, any time I send an email from gmail to jott@hbweb500.x10hosting.com, I receive a permanent error in my gmail mailbox stating that local delivery failed.

I have the permissons of test.php set to 755.

If it matters at all, the script I am using to process the email is at http://jarednevans.typepad.com/technoblog/2006/02/process_an_emai.html

Also, the email arrives in the webmail box perfectly fine, the error just occurs when I forward to the script.

Anybody have experience with this?

I don't. You might need to seek help from the script developer.

ahh yes, i did some testing with piping e-mail few days ago

Enter directory relative to your home direcotry (/home/<cpanel name> is automatically entered), have it 755, And on first line only have following line:

#!/usr/bin/php -q

(so it would look like following)

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
// Code here

PS. I'll be releasing a code with working pipe to php code soon, with a interesting use.

Ah, its moot anymore. I was using the script to parse email files from jott so I wouldn't have to incur text messaging fees, but I just blocked all text messaging on my phone so its no longer an issue. Thanks though!
