Okay, that makes sense. In my activitymail CVS script I just used sendmail. http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DW/DWHEELER/activitymail-0.987 But it looks like this might be more efficient, if qmail happens to be installed (not sure on SourceForge's servers). > Of course none of this is relevant if you're not using qmail ;-) Yes, and in Bricolage, I used Net::SMTP to keep it as platform-independent as possible. It should work on Windows, even! Besides, all mail gets sent during the Apache cleanup phase, so there should be no noticeable delay for users.
