Can't add or modify from web. Information is writen to the validate db, but comes up with an error. I also can't validate. Seems like the problem is in the sendmail area. I have checked and my sendmail info is correct.

When you validate, do the validated records actually move from validate.db to links.db? If so, then the problem is definitely in the sendmail end of things. How is sendmail configured in links.cfg?

I know this is taking longer than you want it to take but there is no other way to do this.
Are you saying that, even though you have multiple records waiting for validation, that the script only loads one record in the admin screen and then doesn't give you the ability to validate even that one?
If that is the case, then something is wrong in your admin_html.pl script. Have you modified it? Try uploading a fresh copy of it from the Links distribution archive and see if that will fix it.
Also, I would double-check with your ISP concerning the sendmail configuration you have in links.cfg to be sure it is correct. It should just look something like this:
I hope this helps.

Here is the error message I receive when I try to e-mail or validate from the admin menu.
Error Message : Fatal error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Mailer" at nph-email.cgi line 84.
Script Location : nph-email.cgi
If I take out "new Mailer" from this line int he nph-email.cgi, it seems to work, but I don't get any e-mails.
my $mailer = new Mailer ( { smtp => $db_smtp_server

1. Make sure Mailer.pm was uploaded in ASCII.
2. Make sure the first letter of Mailer.pm is a capital letter.
my $mailer = new Mailer ( {
smtp => $db_smtp_server,
sendmail => $db_mail_path,
from => $db_admin_email,
subject => $subject,
msg => $message,
log => $db_mailer_log
} )
or &cgierr("Unable to init mailer! Reeason: $Mailer::error");
I hope this helps.

Code:
# Let's initilize a mailer. my $mailer = new Mailer ( {

from => $db_admin_email,
