Cannot Send E-mails

Cannot Send E-mails
  Hi my script works perfectly but when I try to validate a link the script tells me it cannot send the validation e-mail but if it is a server internal mail it works fine. Here is my configuration I have uploaded everything in ASCII and have all permissions right. Can anybody help me?

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

1) Make sure that you have defined the Mailer Log and put the mailer.log file in the correct path that you defined in the $db_mailer_log variable.

2) Make sure that the mailer.log file is changed to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

3) Make sure that you have the Mailer.pm file uploaded to your $db_lib_path.

BTW: This issue has been discussed before, please search the forums more carefully.

Hello Elliot thanks for your quick response I have done what you told me and nothing here is part of the beginning of the error:

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to send addition message. Reason:
Script Location : /home/lanet/www/links/admin/admin.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

I have looked al over the forum and nothing do you have any ideas?
Thank you

One last thing to check...Make sure that you have the following files uploaded in your templates directory:

email-add.txt
email-mod.txt

Welp, I don't know what to tell you...I have provided all the things to check for.

One last suggestion, rem out the $db_smtp_server variable, like the following:

Code:
# $db_smtp_server = '';

I think you want it to look like this:

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