## Postfix configuration to manage email from a mail server
2017-12-09 20:17:15 +08:00
Next you need to forward emails to this script above. For that I'm using [Postfix ](http://www.postfix.org/ ) like a mail server, you need to configure /etc/postfix/master.cf
Add this line at the end of the file (specify myhook to send all emails to the script test.php)
```
myhook unix - n n - - pipe
flags=F user=www-data argv=php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f /var/www/test.php ${sender} ${size} ${recipient}
```
Edit this line (register myhook)
```
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=myhook:dummy
```
The php script must use the fourth method to work with this configuration.
