Hello Folks,

I have a very strong need to set up squirrelmail/sendmail to notify users that there is a new message in his/her webmail inbox. Let me try to elaborate on this a little bit more. As an example, if someone replies to this post, I receive an email notification. I would like to set up a very similiar feature for users of my squirrelmail/sendmail service. I don't want to "Forward" the mail, I just want to send notifications to their "other" email addresses that they've got new mail on my server. Can anyone guide me in the right direction as to how to accomplish this?

Hmmm - traditionally you would use something like procmail to filter the incoming mail and perform actions - something along the lines of "if the mail is for this user, then send mail to these addresses"

Thanx for the reply mrBen. *embarrassed grin* I have to admit that I'm new to sendmail/procmail. Would you mind elaborating on your answer a little bit for me? I've been doing some research on procmail, but it's still not making a lot of sense to me just yet.
