http://www.linuxquestions.org – have some problems in doing my project, my project title is ' in investigate into implementation of certification authority with small network ' ( with using Postfix, openSSL ) and i have builded up two different networks using debian and after that i need to make a mail server, so i configured Postfix and made a mail server, i can send and receive emails on both networks. now i need a shell script on received emails using Postfix, like mail is coming from outside then will go to pipe and there should a script in bash, that will run and check the email and deliver to others, or throw it (HowTos)
