Auto Forward Email: Scripts & PHP Solutions

[Tom McCurdy]

How would I go about getting a script that would automatically foward something from an email to a website. I would like it to be a php script if possible. The problem is that a mentor for a group I am in emails everyone through yahoo groups and I have to manually copy and paste it into a site I have created. I am trying to get it so whenever an email goes to a specific email dedicated only for the yahoo group emails that it would automatically be added to my site which is in php.

Does your email provide POP3/IMAP? If so you can use these functions:

There are a few different ways you could approach automating the forwarding of emails to your website. One option would be to use a pre-existing PHP script designed for this purpose, such as the "Auto Forward Email" script mentioned in the content. You could also write your own custom PHP script to handle the forwarding process.

To get started, you will first need to create a dedicated email address for the Yahoo group emails. This could be a new email account specifically for this purpose, or you could use an existing email address and set up rules or filters to automatically forward emails from the Yahoo group to your dedicated email address.

Next, you will need to decide how you want the emails to be added to your website. One option would be to have the script automatically create a new post or page on your website for each forwarded email. Another option would be to have the script add the email content to an existing page or post on your website. You could also have the script create a separate archive or database of all the forwarded emails.

Once you have a clear idea of what you want the script to do, you can start looking for pre-existing scripts or begin writing your own. If you are not familiar with PHP, you may want to consider hiring a developer to help you create a custom script that meets your specific needs.

Overall, automating the forwarding of emails from a Yahoo group to your website can save you time and effort in the long run. It may take some initial setup and testing, but once the script is in place, it should be able to handle the forwarding process seamlessly. Good luck!
