This is my setup in my links.cfg file:

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

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

But when I run my admin I get the following error:Error including libraries: Can't modify concatenation in scalar assignment at links.cfg line 69, near "'usr/lib/sendmail/';" Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

I am using Links on hypermart if that makes any difference?

I already answered your duplicate Thread in the Links Customization Forum.

This is what I now have:# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/usr/lib/sendmail/'; # $db_smtp_server = '';

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

But when I run admin, newsletter, send mail in debug mode, I get the new error:
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to init mailer! Reeason: Sendmail was not defined or not found: /usr/lib/sendmail/
Script Location : nph-email.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Im having the same PROBLEM! :

Error Message : Unable to init mailer! Reeason: Sendmail was not defined or not found: /usr/bin/sendmail
Script Location : /home/topsites/www/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-email.cgi

I cudent filed the post in the Customization

THANX YOU GUYS KICK ASS!

Welp...then it means that you are not using the correct sendmail path for the Hypermart Sendmail program.

Please go to the Hypermart web site and use the online support features to find this information.

Got it!

For those who use Hypermart, this is the correct info...

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

Al

Good...

Thanks for the contribution...however, another piece of advice is to FIRST consult your hosting company's online documentation, then contact your hosting company if you can't find the correct information, then post questions at other support forums.

Contact your hosting company or look at your hosting company's online documention to find out the correct sendmail path you should be using.

LOL that is the correct SEND MAIL PATH :)
But in still getting the error

I'm not getting any more errors, and I know the path is correct because I double checked with the folks at hypermart.. but when I send emails out (ie new links or newsletter, it's states that it's sending the emails, but nothing is being mailed as I tried mailing to myself?

What's up?

Al


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

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email = 'janeal@home.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;

Make sure that you deselect the Debug Mode checkbox in the Newsletter form.

Hi Eliot,

I've tried both debug a direct. When I really sent it, it said message sent.. but I never got the mail?

Al

Check your email.db file!

Make sure that you have a username and email address in it.

If it is empty, then you need to set the permission of the file to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

For the Link Owners...try using the Send all option.
