That will deliver the mail to the script. The user will not get a copy. If
you want the user to get a copy, you have two choices.

This will process a copy of the message and allow the original to be
delivered unchanged:

  :0 c
  | /path/to/script

This one will deliver the processed message to the user:

  :0 f
  | /path/to/script



If you do not plan to actually deliver the message to a user, you can have
sendmail feed it to the script using /etc/aliases:

  aliasname: |/path/to/script

Scripts run by sendmail are run as the "mail" user, which may be
acceptable, depending on your needs.
