Anyone knows how to set up a MTA (such as sendmail or qmail) to send mail for an address to a program?

I would like to install ticketsmith on my server. But don't know how to set up sendmail to pipe mail to gateway.pl

Add the following to your sendmail aliases file:

aliase for ticket smith "|path to gateway.pl"

And that should do it.

I have done these steps:

1. mkdir /etc/smrsh
2. mv gateway.pl to /etc/smrsh
3. vi /etc/aliases to contain only one line:

support: "|/etc/smrsh/gateway.pl"


But when I mailed to support@mysite.com, mails were not piped to ticketsmith. :confused:

You'll have to run the program newaliases.

How to do it with qmail?

At first, what is the file you need to edit depends on your mail programm settings.
On my server .forward is down, i wrote to
/etc/valiases/site.name

Anyway, format is the next
message@site.name: "| /home/user/pager.php"
*: global@email
