Hi,

You need to configure your email server so that whenever your email address receives a message, archive.pl is run.

Unfortunately there are so many different email servers, and ways to set the program up, that one answer can't fit all.

If you are using sendmail, you want to edit /etc/aliases and add:

useraccount: "|/full/path/to/admin/Plugins/MailArc/archive.pl --forum=x"

where

useraccount == the user that is subscribed to the mailing list
x = the forum id you want to subscribe to.

and then rebuild your aliases file. If you were on qmail, you could add a .qmail-username file in the aliases directory with the contents:

|/full/path/to/admin/Plugins/MailArc/archive.pl --forum=x

Postfix, Exim, and other mail servers may be different.

Really, the best thing to do is ask your ISP how to run a program everytime an email is received.

Hope that helps,

Alex
