No. Just letting you know that even though I'm Linux impaired, I figured out that part.

ok since i couldn't get may's script working i'm atempting to re-create it. but i know nothing about perl if someone out there know's perl please tell me what is wrong with this:

CODE

#!/usr/bin/perl

$file = $ARGV[0];
$domain = $ARGV[1];
$footer= "***example disclaimer****\r\n";

if($domain !~ /\@mydomain.com/){exit (0);}
else {
open (apendfile,">>$file") || die ("Could not open file. $!");
print apendfile ($footer);
close (apendfile);
exit (7);
}

When i test it from shell it seems to work ok

--------------------

The only thing I can suggest with your original script is first taking a text file and piping it through the filter from the command line to see if it appends the disclaimer. If that works, then the next step is the firing process from XMail. What other filters are running? Try disabling all filters except the one you are trying to debug. Do you have the latest version of perl installed? Have you set up appropriate rights to the necessary directories? Give those a try and let us know. Thanks!
