Forwarding to a mail pipe

[gfdos.sys]

I am trying to set up a Help Desk system called osTicket.

The system wants me to set up a forwarding account in the mta.
(in Zimbra's case this is postfix) but I am trying to do it in the zimbra interface.

1. I tried to do this as a forward from the Zimbra interface
2. I also tried to do this as a Distribution list with my email as one of the members and a "mail pipe" as the other.

This is the "address" i'm supposed to set the forward to:
|/usr/bin/php -q /opt/automail.php

1. The forwarding tab (correctly) comes up with "Value did not match valid values", and wouldn't let me add the pipe.

2.When I add it to the distro list it shows on the list of names to add, but when I click save, an alert comes up (correctly) saying:
Server error encountered
Message: invalid request: must be vailid member email address: |/usr/bin/php -q /opt/automail.php
Error code: service:INVALID_REQUEST
Method: ZmCsfeCommand.invoke
Details:soap:Sender

Is there anyway I CAN set this up?

FYI: I have copied automail.php to the opt folder and given it 764 permissions to test it. So once it is set right it should run.

Here is the content of automail.php (so you can see WHAT its trying to do):

PHP Code:

would this work:

where bar@example.com is the mail that is comming in that needs to be forwarded to the other system:

$ zmprov ma bar@example.com zimbraMailTransport |/usr/bin/php -q /opt/automail.php

I got that from here:
Split Domain - Zimbra :: Wiki

Did you have any luck with getting this working? I am currently trying to do the same thing and it isn't working.

[gfdos.sys]

no, unfortunately I havent been able to fix this.
I was actually REALLY excited when I got the email saying there was a reply to this request... hoping for help getting it to work.

Here's hoping that since there is two of us trying to get this to work, we can get a responce from the programing team!!! Please?
