Trying to pipe an email to a php script on an external server.  Had this working at one time and then moved both web and mail to new server.  I have followed the instructions on the documents page.  I have this as the last line in my master.cf

external-pipe   unix    -       n       n       -       -       pipe
        flags=  user=vmail:vmail argv=http://192.168.1.***/retail/receive_mail.php

I get the following error in the mail log
fatal: pipe_command: execvp http://192.168.1.217/retail/receive_mail.php: No such file or directory.

I can browse to that file from any web browser.
Help appreciated.

Re: Pipe to external script

The external script must be a local file, not http/ssh/... etc.
You can do http/ssh in the script instead.
