OKay, now I have tried everything you suggested regarding the links.cfg file, but nothing helps!!!!! Well, I don't get a 500 errormessage now for everything without the '/' administratorsaddress.
And somehow the -i isn't recognized......

So onto the next... how is it possible for an emailaddress not to exist on a server (webmaster@angelscharmedslayer.com) when I can send emails to it and just recieve them at home and when I can send emails from it to another emailaddress and also recieve that email? I'm confused here.

Are there any other settings wrong? Everything else works.... well accept for actually showing the building of the pages, while the pages are build (still confused about that, but since the pages are being build I'm not really concerned). I haven't tried to massmail the linkowners again. I'd like to get the emailnotification working first.
Thanks again for all your help! I didn't want to sounds as if I wouldn't try your advice, I was in the meantime, but I didn't expect it would work.
