Hi Dustin,
If your hosted on a server that runs exim and CPanel, there's an easy
way to implement this... have a read of this:
http://www.webpronews.com/blogtalk/2007/08/20/gmail-as-a-spam-filter-on-cpanel
I'm hosted on a server that runs exim and DirectAdmin, so the .forward
file doesn't work in the way outlined on that site--I'm limited to using
a .forward file for the real hosting package user (the account I use to
log into DA and SSH), any other email account is considered a virtual
user account, and the .forward file doesn't fire for those accounts.
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-4390.html
The above scenario means I would have to give out my real users email
address, and I don't want that. I want to be able to give out random
virtual email addresses, then when mail comes in, forward it onto gmail
(and its great spam filter) and gmail then forwards it back to another
of my virtual email accounts.
I have implemented it using a number of different forwarders to gmail
and back to my real user account. It's not quite the way I wanted it
(going to the real user account) but it works. I haven't had time to
dig deeper into emulating the .forward files by piping incoming email to
a php script; I hope to have a proper look before the year end.
Good luck.
Craig.
