Looks like you have a problem with Sendmail. Did you define the admin email address corectly? (i.e. is it valid)

Also, does sendmail work in any another Perl scripts you may have on your site?

Re: [Andy] Help explaining Sendmail error In reply to

Yes, sendmail has been working without any problems with my links install. I've been trying to configure a third party form processing script to pass the values to links in order to take advantage of the multi form capabilities, and then it suddenly did this. I only changed the third party form script, but I didn't touch anything in Links or sendmail. I know a com port won't work anymore once the ports been opened and not properly closed until rebooted....is there any kind of similarity to that with sendmail?

Thanks again for your help,

Steve

Have you talked to your ISP about this? It could have been something their end, and just a coincidence that its caused a problem once you edited the formmail script.
