 have tried two options to pipe t a perl script
and i am looking for a third as the two I thought wil not work

      1st option
   
       
 what i have done is set up postfix to accept mail to 'foo@rep.robin.com'
   
      and deliver them via pipe to the command "repserver -d foo"
  
       
  
      its the "deliver them via pipe to the command repserver -d foo"
  
      than i do not know how to set up.?
  
       
  
      but my thinking is:
  
       
  
      in /etc/aliases someusername: | repserver.pl(path to it)
  
      run newaliases
  
       
  
      2nd option
  
      ----------------------------------------
  
      echo '"| /path/to/repserver.pl"' >>~/.forward
  
       
  
       
  
      Why both options will not work:
  
       
  
       
  
      in the .forward. I must remember the repserver script is able to add new users when they complete the registration process, so I would have to modify the script in order to run one of these two commands after a successful registration. This is messy. I'm quite sure there is a cleaner way to ask postfix to pipe every mails received for ${foo}@${nymdomain} to "repserver.pl -d $foo".?
  
       
  
       
  
      two commands means i cannot use .forward or /etc/aliases
