Dear all, I have tried to search for a related problem, however I have had no luck finding a similar problem.

When I try to send a newsletter, (debug checked and unchecked) , nothing happens. The page doesn't change, nothing happens. No emails are sent, and I'm not given a message or anything. I have tried adding -t and others on the sendmail, however I have the same problem. Does anyone perhaps know where to look?

Thanks! :)

When a link is added to your directoy, do you get notified via email? If not, then it's a general issue with your SENDMAIL configurations. If you do receive the admin notification, then it may be that your server cannot parse the nph file that sends the email....
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,

Stealth, I don't receive anything when a link is added.

My path to sendmail is: /usr/sbin/sendmail

This is what I have:

# Email Options
# --------------------------------------------------------
# NOTE: Be sure to edit the text of the message. It can be found
# in the templates directory: email-add.txt, email-del.txt and
# email-mod.txt respectively.

# 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 = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '';

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email = 'jim@groovyadventures.com';

# Notify visitors automatically when their links are validated?
$db_email_add = 1;

# Notify visitors automatically when their links are modified?
$db_email_modify = 1;

# Log all outgoing messages? Put the full path to a logfile and make sure it
# exists and is writeable (chmod 666 -rw-rw-rw-). This logfile can get pretty
# big!
$db_mailer_log = '';


I've tried changing the ' to " as I found in one post, but didn't work... Anything look wrong?

Thanks for the help :)

Use this script to make sure you have the correct settings: http://dotmatrix.net/scripts/setup/

That is a coool script :) Thank you. :)

Here is what it says about my sendmail:

MAY be a problem:
Sendmail not explicitly found on server PATH
Please try one of the following:
sendmail:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail.bak

I have tried the .bak but never heard of that... it didn't work though.

Here is the information from my host:

Sendmail:
/usr/sbin/sendmail (sendmail emulator for qMail)

qmail:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

I'm not sure what qmail is?

qmail is an Internet Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for UNIX-like operating systems. It's a drop-in replacement for the Sendmail system provided with UNIX operating systems. qmail uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to exchange messages with MTA's on other systems. From http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.pdf Read Chapter 4 (Usage).

Apparently it's a replacement for sendmail. In this informative link, sendmail is removed in step 9. Looks like /var/qmail/bin/sendmail: or /var/qmail/rc may be what you need.

Or, try using SMTP, instead of the sendmail option:

mail.mysite.com

where 'mysite' is your site name, without http or www in front of it. This should engage the qmail automatically...
