Postfix error

Hi Steve

You've got me, I'm afraid. The developers of the Hivemail package have
the most incredibly poor support service I've ever come across, so
much so I'm sorry I bought the package. Certainly wouldn't recommend
it to anyone else at this point!!

Problem is I've paid for the package and it's (I think) the only one
available which will interface with Invision Power Board - the board
I'm using for my forums. So.... looks as though I'm a little screwed
at the moment.... :(

Asking the lads at Hivemail doesn't even get a response, so asking
them about the script is pointless. I haven't the understanding of
Linux, Postfix OR PHP to work it out for m'self, so I guess I'm at a
dead end unless someone can help debug the process.

Basically the way it appears to work is as follows:

Mail comes in to server
Postfix, somehow, (through the "luser" command?) knows that it should
submit the message to the "catch-all" on the server, an executable
file called hivemail_process.php
That script then checks with the MySQL database whether the user is
valid and either writes the message to the dbase or rejects the
message.

More I can't tell you all. That's about as much as I know.

Regards
Chris
