Mailing..
I was just looking in Add.inc.php, and I saw that you use a function called mailto(). Is this a PHP function, or one that is included in your modules? I have found the PHP mail() function to be very unreliable, so I'm looking at other ways to send with PHP....

Thanks

It's our own function defined in Links.inc.php. It's just a wrapper to PHP's mail(), but we do extra stuff because mail() doesn't set everything up properly and also some OS dependent changes.

Ah..think I may have found the problem with my code. I was using "$Email", instead of just $Email...It seems that PHP does't likethings being in/out of quotes...otherwise it takes it completly differently Unsure

You can't have looked very hard. It's at the bottom of Links.inc.php in the admin/Links/PHP folder.

I spent under 15 seconds looking and found it. Tongue
