It's apparently installed on c:\windmail. The faq I read said to use it like sendmail but I can't get it to find the prog.

In the absence of other information, be aware that the noble backslash escapes characters in Perl, though it serves as a path separator in the DOS and Windows worlds. In a double-quoted string, such as "C:\windmail\wm.exe", Perl will interpret the backslash as escaping the w characters. One solution is to double up the backslashes. Another is to change them to forward slashes. Both will work, if this is truly the error you are seeing.	[reply]

How are you calling it? Are you giving the full pathname, or have you put the binary directory in your path? J. J. Horner Linux, Perl, Apache, Stronghold, Unix jhorner@knoxlug.org http://www.knoxlug.org/	[reply]
