Email problem
I know that this has been addressed and I did try things I have read such as adding a mailing.log file etc. but I still get this error.

: Unable to init mailer! Reeason: SMTP: server '/usr/lib/sendmail' was not found.
Script Location : /home/websites/www.usturks.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-email.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Laura

/usr/lib/sendmail is the path to "sendmail", and it's NOT an SMTP server.

make sure in links.cfg you have:
Code:
# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/usr/lib/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '';
not:
Code:
# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
