After a link has been validated, the system sends an email to the user advising them of such. However, the return email address (the webmaster's) is formatted incorrectly.

The return email address ($db_admin_email) gets printed with the @ sign escaped. Eg. webmaster\@mysite.com

In links.cfg, the $db_admin_email="webmaster\@mysite.com" with the @ escaped like is required in Perl 5.

Has anyone come across this before and can you advise how to correct it?

Thanks,

Dan O.

you should always use 's to do email

so

$db_admin_email = 'webmaster@domain.com';

you don't need to escape the @

Thanks Jerry, I corrected my mistake and all is working as expected.

I didn't realize that the escape wasn't needed when using single quotes. Every other script I've installed specifically said to escape it. I have also encountered numerous error messages from Perl saying ALL @'s must be escaped. Live and learn. >8~}
