SUMMARY
thanks for all the possibities ! At the moment -- I will be giving #3 a
try (multiple responders suggested it)
1- use procmail
2- use postfix
Use Postfix and virtual users , it does the trick
see at http://www.postfix.org
3- /etc/mail/aliases
No problem. That is the purpose of /etc/mail/aliases
In it's simplest form:
email-test: "| /fullpath/email_script"
--or--
just set it up in /etc/aliases file and run newaliases. the alias should
point to "|script_that_deals_with_the_email"
4- ACCOUNT
Set the user shell to /usr/bin/false
Even with successful authentication he will not be able to log onto the
machine.
