sendmail redirect email to a PHP script

[jloch]

Hi,
I am very new to sendmail and linux. I've looked at my sendmail documentation and must have overlooked the answer somewhere.

Can you tell me if I need a certain version of sendmail or need it configured differently to have e-mail sent to a mailbox on that server be redirected to a PHP script for processing?

I imagine I need an entry in the aliases file that includes the accepting mailbox and the path to the script?

Thanks for any advice or URL's you can send me for more information on this topic.

What I really want to do is process bounced e-mail using a php script -- removing the bounced address from a mySQL db.

Thanks,
jloch

you could probably incorporate procmail as the mail delivery agent and have it send it to the script for parsing then local delivery to the mbox, I believe sendmail uses procmail as its default MDA so this shouldn't be too hard. www.procmail.org should be able to give you a few more specifics.
