Lets say your sendmail daemon is running under user name "sendmail". Then make shure, that /home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp also is owned by user sendmail an has the chmod u+rx /home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp execute permission set, so the #!..... in the first line of your script can get involved. Maybe this helps. Ciao. -- Echte DSL-Flatrate dauerhaft für 0,- Euro*!
