Question

This may be a ridiculous question, but it’s been bothering me for a while.
I have a mail forwarder piped to a PHP script, it receives perfectly, however I have the following error mailed back to me instantly:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  pipe to |/home/[webroot]/public_html/external/mobile/email.php
    generated by mobile@[mydomain]

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13 
Content-type: text/html

As you can see, Exim thinks the header response an error from the script I have. The script can receive the Email perfectly from php://stdin but Exim is quick-replying with the error.

Plus,

• It’s running from console, not Apache so HTAccess or configuring Apache most likely would do nothing.
• I can not find any solution, or anyone with the same problem.

So my question is: How to I get rid of those two headers?

Thanks,
~Jonny

Edit, Source:

    #!/usr/bin/php
<?php
    $fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
        $email = "";
        while (!feof($fd)) {
         $email .= fread($fd, 1024);
        }
        fclose($fd);

        $dat = fopen(dirname(__FILE__).'/test.txt', 'w');
        fwrite($dat, $email);
        fclose($dat);

looks like you’re running php-cgi while you need php-cli (just “php”). Run php -v to make sure. If cgi is the case, try “-q” option.
