I am having a problem getting this script to actually work. I believe i have followed the instructions to the
best of my ability thus far.

I was getting all sorts of errors at first but now I am getting a permission error.

Here is the mail log
sending mail from a gmail account to my moblog account on my server at thebatchfile.com

I get mail back and it says:

Command output: sh: line 1: /var/www/html/thebatchfile/html/cellblog.php:

Any ideas?

It's saying you're not allowed to execute /var/www/html/thebatchfile/html/cellblog.php. Does that file exist, and is it readable and executable for everybody?

I moved it and named it back to what it should be and I still get
Command output: sh: line 1: /home/moblog/mail2s9y.php: Permission denied )
in the maillog.

Its 777 too?

Does it still return status 126? That's bash for "not executable". Mode 777 includes execute for everybody, though.

Perhaps the problem is that sh is handling it. We want PHP to execute the file, not sh. But PostFix probably only uses sh. We could make sh call php by adding a shebang line. Just make the first line in the file look like:

Code: Select all

#!/path/to/php/php

Keep it executable, of course. Let me know what happens.
