Rather than deliver mail directly to my inbox, I'm forwarding it to a
gmail account. gmail then kindly filters virus and spam. gmail then
forwards mail back the original email account, where it gets piped to my
php script.
The php script parses the email for a header which indicates that it's
been forwarded from a gmail account. If it finds that header which
gmail added, it delivers it to my inbox, otherwise, the mail gets
forwarded to gmail.
There are 2 reasons for doing this: 1) mail backup 2) extra antivirus
and antispam.
I didn't want to include these extra details because they're not really
relevant to my original question and would make it easier for people to
go off topic (how wrong I was!). Its great to see moral people out
there on the internet, but please don't jump the gun on a whim!!!
Now please, can we get back on topic: using php to forward email...
Regards,
Craig.
