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

For anyone else who runs into this issue, did you find out what actually was wrong and the fix?

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