hivemail setup

[royng]

I am trying to get hivemail up but am stuck at this stage

from hivemail support page

we need to 'tell' the server to direct all mail to the script you just uploaded. To do so, we edit the valias file for your Web site. This file is usually located at /etc/valiases/example.com, but it might be different on your server

log in to telnet or SSH and type the following:
pico /etc/valiases/example.com (replace the path with the real path).

In that file, you need to add a new line, that looks like this:
*: |/home/example/hivemail_process.php
Where /home/example/hivemail_process.php is the complete path to the hivemail_process.php file you uploaded earlier.

I am running fedora core 3 and valiases is not there but there is a aliases file in /etc in the file it says "# Default aliases file, installed by Exim".

i edit the file and added *: |/home/user/hivemail_process.php but it is still not working

Wrong file. It's /etc/virtual/example_domain.com/aliases
However if you don't have sufficient access to modify that file it can be done through DirectAdmin under the forwarders page on the user level. just make sure to put quotes around your pipe otherwise DirectAdmin will say it's an invalid email address and reject it.

i have root and thanks but i am not very sure on setting this up and i am only guessing is that the file so now i think it is not as it is a forwarders file so anyone who got hicemail to work with da using the pipe way can just tell me and i got it to work with cpanel but after i switch it is not working

Actually on second thought, the file I mentioned is wrong if your trying to set this up server-wide and it is /etc/aliases.

Have you tried puting quotes around the actual pipe command so that it doesn't think it's a username or email address?
and restarted exim?

no not server wide it is only on one domain which has hivemail installed i am not sure about pipe commands i am only following from the site.
