NOTE: The following mod will NOT work if you use a "Catch All" e-mail address i.e. anything@yoursite.com


This is a very easy mod that allows you to send out your newsletter with a non replyable e-mail address. Useful if you have a large amount of subscribers on your mailing list and don't want to receive bulk replies. It also reduces the chances of receiving spam e-mail as you are not sending with an active e-mail address.


Instructions:

######
# Open nph_email.cgi and find:
######

# Let's initilize a mailer.
my $mailer = new Mailer ( { smtp => $db_smtp_server, sendmail => $db_mail_path, from => $db_admin_email, subject =>

$subject, msg => $message, log => $db_mailer_log } ) or
&cgierr("Unable to init mailer! Reeason: $Mailer::error");

print qq~
