Sendmail error message 16777215
My new glinks install is great but I can't get any of the sendmail apps to work right. I get this error message

Unable to send validation e-mail: Unable to send email: Sendmail exited with an unknown exit status: 16777215

any ideas?, thanks

Hi,

Is this a dedicated server, shared, or managed?

From what I could see on Google, it seems that error message is more related to WinZip:

This is a UNIX server on virtual hosting, so shared. All sendmail applications glinks is using are faulty, ie., validating links, emailing from the admin panel, etc.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

Hi,

Try adding this script to your server (save as test_mail.cgi). Be sure to update the path to sendmail ($sendmail) and the email to send the test to ($to);

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;

my $sendmail = qq|/usr/lib/sendmail|;
my $to = q|you@yourdomain.com|;

open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -t") || die "Error: $!";
print MAIL "To: $to \n";
print MAIL "From: $to \n";
print MAIL "Reply-to: $to \n";
print MAIL "Subject: Test \n\n";
print MAIL "Thanks for contacting us. This is just a test email \n\n";
print MAIL "\n";
close(MAIL);

Then, CHMOD to 755, and try running from your server.

If there is a problem with sendmail, then the problem should occur in this script too.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

According to my server , my id number on the server was in a file that we use to block users from sending spam.
