Thanks, I changed the line to: ade: |/usr/bin/php /wwwroot/www.domain.com/ade/email.php And get this message back different but in essence the same I believe. I know the email.php doesn't do anything, I would love to get it there :) proving to be difficult :) ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- |/usr/bin/php /wwwroot/www.domain.com/ade/email.php (reason: 255) (expanded from: <ade@xxxxxxxxxx>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Status: 404 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.11 No input file specified. 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 255 -----Original Message----- From: Stut [mailto:stuttle@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 10:51 AM To: Adrian Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How to get incoming emails captured by PHP ?

Mail sent to this script will be lost, so here's hoping that's not the finished article. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
