RE: Need help to change the Postfix code

Thanks egoitz & Ram.

Actually I don't need the whole functionality of Postfix, I also need to cut the code for my requirement only.
My requirement is to just receive the email and send the body and attachments to another component.
There is no requirement of sending any email from my postfix server.

Now my question is, is it worth to cut the code and use the only module which I need or I should go with the whole postfix?

Many Thanks,
Sumit Arora

Depending on what the code does... you could run a script passing content
to it via pipe in master.cf. This way is like maildrop mda works for
example.

What exactly does you're code?.

To change postfix code for such a thing is absolutely unnecessary

You can run a custom script in postfix by piping the mail to a script via aliases , or a master.cf entry
