Hi all !
I need to process incoming e-mail directed to a particular account (for example to the POP account
foo@bemarnet.es) with a program. I have modified the /etc/aliases files adding the following line :
foo: "|/usr/local/bin/process"
There is the source code in C lenguaje of the program called "process" :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
int x;
char ch;
file *output;
output=fopen("/usr/local/bin/majordomo.txt", "a+");
for(x=0;(!feof(stdin));x++) {
ch=fgetc(stdin);
putc(ch, output);
}
fclose(output);
return(0);
}
As you can see the program should open a file called /usr/local/bin/majordomo.txt and append to it the e-mail
content, in fact the program works fine when called through the command line (example : cat
123|/usr/local/bin/process")
The mailer returns the following error :
----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"|/usr/local/bin/process" (unrecoverable error)
(expanded from: foo)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
Memory fault
554 "|/usr/local/bin/process"... unknown mailer error 139
Any ideas ? Does anybody knows the meaning of the 139 error ?
Thanks in advance.
