Piping issue

[Jackiegoal]

Hello,

I've tried adding a piping command for my support system to a Directadmin autoresponder similar to "[email protected]" and it just won't do it, putting in a php command will give:

String contains an invalid email address: | php -q /*path*/support/pipe/pipe.php

I can't seem to find what's wrong. It just won't take something that is not an e-mail adress. Can anyone help me?

Kind regards,
Jaap Haagmans

You cannot currently do pipes via directadmin you have to add them in the file with a unix editor.

Edit /etc/virtual/<domain.com>/aliases

Thanks mate

Well, that was a pickle. I've been trying and trying and finally found out I had to pipe it to the absolute PHP path (which is /usr/local/bin/php in most DA installs, afaik) by editing the /etc/virtual/*domain*/aliases file.

Eventually I ended up with a piping line like this:

support: |/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/*path*/public_html/support/pipe/pipe.php

But it works now. Just make sure to check whether the php path is correct for your install.

By the way, it is possible to do it through DirectAdmin. Try putting double quotes around it.

What is a double quote? Do you mean quotation marks?

I do, but " are double quotation marks (in Dutch) and ' are single ones.
