Hi monks,
I have met with a complex problem, I am just
developing some applications and my requirement is when
i shoot a mail to a mailing list and that should trigger a perl script.

In the perl script i use some system command to get the data of the sender `de aliases@xx.com` which will will give some data mapped to this aliases.

When i test this using command line perl parser.pl or thru browser http://xxx.com/cgi-bin/parser.pl this works and gives the expected output of de . but when i trigger this using a mail it says "File or directory not found". I tried even system command it doesnt work if i trigger this using a mailing list but the other way (commandline or thru CGI it works)


Why is this any clues and solutions ?


Thanks and Regards
P.B.Sathish Kumar
