Mail Problem
Hey,

When i try to mail a mass message to all link owners i get the following error messages:

Unable to mail to 'ptshtr@sk.sympatico.ca'. Reason: SMTP: connect() failed. reason: Permission denied
5 - Unable to mail to 'rmellon@telusplanet.net'. Reason: SMTP: connect() failed. reason: Permission denied
6 - Unable to mail to 'getfish@home.com'. Reason: SMTP: connect() failed. reason: Permission denied

This is obviously a shortened version because there are more then 200 e-mail adresses in the data base.

Where do i start looking for the problem? I have the path set correctly for the hypermart mail program. Here's my coding:

# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'; $db_smtp_server =
'www.hypermart.net';

Does it look ok?
Thanks a lot!

Try setting only one, not both. Set only the path to your sendmail.

Read links.cfg more carefully next time.....

Code:
# Set only ONE of either $db_mail_path which should go to a
# mail program like sendmail, or $db_smtp_server which will use
# a SMTP server. Do not set both at once!

# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '';
