[RESOLVED] 
i'm having problems with email piping in cpanel.
my goal:
i want users to be able to send an email to an address i created myemail@mydomain.com which in turn gets piped to a php script which reads the email and does php stuff (mysql access and stuff) and then send back an email (most likely an email confirmation of their action).
my setup and problem:
i created email account.
i setup forwarding (pipe to a program) letting it use its auto-complete to get point to myscript.php file.
it now has it set to: fromhere@blablabla.bleh.com to |/home/myusername/public_html/blabla/myscript.php
myscript.php contains the following (simple) lines:
i change myscript.php permission to all execute (755)
i tested myscript.php by running it by opening it in the browser - all it does is send an email to a different address, which works.
i try sending email to the address for which forwarding is set. email bounces and i get the error in the bounced-back email:
I spent a lot of "debugging" time (which essentially ended ended up simply changing various parameters and reading the bounced email error report) - i can supply some more info on that, though i don't think it's necessary. It seems like my problem has to do with this error:
is this a server-side error? am i going about my goal a completely wrong way? any help is very appreciated?
thank you in advance,
