Sendmail (nr)

Hi Norman
When modifiying Actinic.pm as directed in your README, which file do I edit
/original/actinic.pm
/site1/actinic.pm

I guess the /original, Actinic then writes all the parameters to /site1.

Am I right in thinking this??

TIA, Simon

You should edit the Site1 version - the one in Original is the back up in case it all goes pear shaped and you can just copy it over into Site1

The sendmail patch shouldn't be necessary with V7. The support for authenticated SMTP in V7 should get you working with virtually all hosts.

Are you having problems with SMTP?

Thanks, my SENDMAIL program is located at usr/sbin/sendmail - where do I add this parameter in Actinic. Do I replace the variable my $mailer to equal usr/sbin/sendmail ??

I am having problems with SMTP. My host say they cannot allow port 25 connections to be opened due to security reasons

Not sure if this is any help but the way I got my smtp working was to send an email to webmaster@mysite.co.uk and then picked up the smtp server address from the message source and used it without authentication turned on.

All seems weird but it works.

No. The patch use Mail::mailer so that it is independent on the actual mail transport program. However your server needs to have the Mail::mailer module installed. If it isn't installed there's a post somewhere (not from me - try searching) on directly using SendMail.
