Catchall with Exim and Virtual Host

Question

I tried following the tutorial at: http://www.phpshare.org/articles/Piping-Incoming-Mail-with-PHP.html to pipe incoming mail to a PHP script for a virtual host with Exim. I can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?

Here's my exim.conf setup:

http://www.ysend.com/exim.txt

I have created the directory:

/etc/exim/vhosts

And created a file: ysend.com in it, with:

catch-all: |php -q /home/ysend/public_html/handler.php

I also tried:

*: |php -q /home/ysend/public_html/handler.php

As well as:

catch-all: [email protected]

and

*: [email protected]

Answer 1

try a

exim -bt [email protected]

Exim is quite talky about what it is doing.

You may add the following line to your exim.conf main section

trusted_users = yourapacheuser

(apacheuser may be www-data on debian/ubuntu, httpd on redhat/fedora)

and most importantly: move your vhost_alias from routers to directors. routers are for mails sent offsite, directors on how to handle local mails.
