Re^2: Sending email using qmail

My tech support has told me that qmail is installed on my server by default, while sendmail is not. However, the path to send (/usr/sbin/sendmail) doesn't return any errors, so I was assuming it is installed.

So now I am just focusing on getting qmail to work, grrr.

A standard qmail installation will include a program called sendmail. This emulates the standard sendmail behavior for sending email but passes all of the actual processing on to qmail. So you should be able to use any example code that you find that uses sendmail to send mail (like, for example, the perl FAQ). -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

OK, you've got sendmail. When you write your script, where is the script run from? Your computer, or the server? If it's your computer, then I suspect you won't get it to work, since the sendmail program isn't on your computer.	[reply]
