I am attempting to modify Links so that it will send an email to the user if their link has been deleted. The body of the email will contain various reasons as to why it may have been rejected (porn, warez, invalid url, double email addy submitted, etc.) and it's important to us. 
The only things I can find referring to email whatsoever are in links.cfg and admin_html.pl. Am I missing something somewhere?
In links.cfg I added these two fields under Email Notifications:
#Email address to send "deleted link unfairly" letters:
$db_unfair_email = 'unfair@grand-central-chat.net';
and
# Notify visitors automatically when their links are deleted?
$db_email_delete = 1;
In admin_html.pl, under Email Messages, I copied the sub html_validate_email and changed it to apply to deletion, then pasted my changed version after sub html_modify_email. It looks like this:
sub html_delete_email {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# All the link information is stored in %link.
my (%link) = @_;
open (MAIL, "|$db_mail_path") or &cgierr ("unable to open mail: $db_mail_path. Reason: $!");
print MAIL "To: $link{'Contact Name'} <$link{'Contact Email'}>\n";
print MAIL "From: $db_admin_email\n";
print MAIL "Subject: We're sorry, your link has been deleted.\n\n";
print MAIL qq|

Is that all I have to do? I feel that I am missing something somewhere, I cannot find in the scripts where the script tells itself to run the html_validate_email or html_modify_email subroutines; and I am horribly worried that I missed something huge.
If this is all I need to do, please tell me! If I missed something, tear me apart!
Thanks in advance,
Raven
