can't send mail
I can't send email after validation. I don't know what's going wrong. Below here is part of link.cfg:
# PATH of sendmail.
$db_mail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

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

# Log all outgoing messages? Put the full path to a logfile and make sure it
# exists and is writeable (chmod 666 -rw-rw-rw-). This logfile can get pretty
# big!
$db_mailer_log = '';

Pls. help me to find out the answer.
Thanks.

According to man sendmail:

Quote:
Read message for recipients. To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines will
be scanned for recipient addresses. The Bcc: line will be
deleted before transmission. Any addresses in the argument
list will be suppressed, that is, they will not receive
copies even if listed in the message header.
