stop emails ?
Hi
Could someone tell me what I need to edit to stop receiving an email everytime a new link is waiting to be validated. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...janx

In add.cgi, at the BOTTOM, find:

Code:
$mailer->send or die $Links::Mailer::error;

# Send the visitor to the success page.
Comment out the $mailer->send... line.


BTW... None of my sites notifiy me of additions, and I tried to figure out why, but can't seem to. I know the mailer works, but I don't get any 'new link' notifications. I don't see a visible switch to turn it on and off anywhere, and I find it hard to imagine I commented out the routine in all the various sites -- before they ever went live. Now, I'm wondering _why_. There are several dozen additions a day across our network, but I never got a single message in the past year+

You could just edit the ReceiveMail default from Yes and change it to No.

SeanM,

The 'ReceiveMail' field is for your link owners who submit sites to your directory. It allows them to decide whether they want to receive emails from you when you run mail-shots from your admin panel.

What janx wants to stop are the 'administrator notice' emails that get sent to the admin's email address by links when a visitor adds a new link for validation/review Smile

My personal preference is to have the admin notices turned OFF as I get over 150+ sites submitted a day :)

All the best
Shaun

Isn't there as option to disable that ability within Links.pm file? Or by not putting in a path to a mail program, will cause it to not send an email.

Fixed it... Thanks again for all your help. It was time consuming deleting all the addition emails. I usually check every couple of days for new submissions so this feature isn't important.

Thanks again... Janx
