Hi!

Everything works fine, but LINKS never sends no Emails to nowhere not.

$db_mail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; # $db_smtp_server = '';
$db_admin_email = 'webmaster@erftpark.de';

Should work - but doesn't. Other external sendmail-CGIs work fine.

After "sending" Emails I recive this report:

It says it sends, but it's all a lie. It tries ...it tries to deceive me. It hates me,... and I hate it! :o)

H E E E E L P, please!

Finally I got it:

# If we don't have parameters for sendmail, just check if it exists and
# then add default -oeq -odq -t. Otherwise, strip them off and check to make
# sure sendmail exists.
if ($self->{'sendmail'} =~ /^\S+$/) {
unless (-e $self->{'sendmail'}) {
&error ('SENDMAILNOTFOUND', $self->{'sendmail'});
return undef;
}
$self->{'sendmail'} = $self->{'sendmail'} . " -t";

The sendmail-parameter in the Mailer.pm had to be set like mentioned above. It didn't work with any other setting than " -t"...

Maybe this will be helpfull to someone with similarly problems.

Bye bye,
Norbert
