Links isn't sending emails
Hi,

I have been running links on a trial basis and have found it run perfectly; the only errors occurring because my ISP had done something to the server. Recently however, when people make additions to the database, links has ceased sending out confirmation emails. This is also observed when I build new links; no emails to confirm additions. I have tested the email address and that works. My ISP says it checks that send mail functions OK every day. But still no emails. It worked one day and then not the next The only thing I can think of now is that they upgraded to a perl version which isn't cpmpatible with links 2.0. They advise me that they have version 5.6.0.613 on my server. Has there been any problems of this nature on that version of perl.

Thanks - Andy

I would double check the $db_mail_path and make sure that you have the current sendmail path that your hosting company has installed the Sendmail program.

$db_mail_path is not required as my host is NT. The SMTP server is working OK as I can still send mails to the email address I have specified for the webmaster.
