1) For the Newsletter, people need to SUBSCRIBE to it via the subscribe.cgi script. There should be email addresses and names in the email.db in the data directory. If there are none, then, of course, no email addresses will show up in the Newsletter option.

2) For the adding links, make sure that you have the following variable configurations in your links.cfg file:

Code:

$db_email_add = 1;
$db_email_mod = 1;

Well, this is, I believe, exactly how it should look. I assume you do not have any subscribers ...
Try subscribing yourself though the subscribe.cgi. Then your address should show in the mail to box. then send the newsletter, and check the mail you then should get. In that email, the string:
http://adcg.com.br/cgi-bin/links/subscribe.cgi?action=unsubscribe&email=<%Contact Email%>
will look like this:
http://adcg.com.br/cgi-bin/links/subscribe.cgi?action=unsubscribe&email=you@yourdomain.com

Or am I missing your point?
