Howdy, Take a peek at your email logs – the Postfix log is either /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log, and the procmail log is /var/log/procmail.log. Do you see any errors in any of those logs? -Eric ---

Hi, Is the script permissions set to “755” so that it can execute? ` Best Regards, Peter Knowles TPN Solutions E: pknowles@tpnsolutions.com P: 604-782-9342 W: http://www.tpnsolutions.com ` ---

Howdy, According to the errors in your logs, you are seeing a permissions issue – but it doesn’t need to be “777”, that script can be “755”. However, the issue is that whenever scripts are executed by Postfix, they’re executed as the user “nobody”. So what you’d need to do is make sure that the directories leading up to your script are accessible by that user. Alternatively, if you use Usermin to perform the “feed to program”, rather than doing that through Virtualmin – that performs the feed to program a different way (using the users procmailrc, rather than directly in Postfix ) – and that would avoid the permission issue you’re seeing. -Eric ---
