Re: How to get Mail delivery in form cgi´s work
If you want to have fun with Outlook Express users, put this in your signature: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Doe"@example.com I don't know if that's a legal address, but its mere presence in an e-mail message will cause Outlook Express to freeze and eventually consume all of your memory... "Thanks for the warning," says the person who read this message with Outlook Express. Incidentally, nothing happened, aside from the address being incorrectly parsed by OE's mailto linker. I use version 5. By the way, playing strictly by RFC 821's rules, that is a valid email address. ---Kris kelley

Merely pasting the above text into a blank e-mail message in Outlook Express will have the same effect. Chris

Is there a reason for doing that? Seems to me this is just sendmail catching a mistake, where qmail doesn't; and as long as you don't make the mistke, you'll be fine. I'd appreciate you telling me where I missed something if that's not the case. Always up for learning something new. :-) Thanks, jon

How to get Mail delivery in form cgi´s work

I´m not really into perl and stuff. Qmail supplies a sendmail wrapper; a thing that looks like /usr/lib/sendmail for many of the purposes that's invoked in scripted, but which actually call qmail-inject. Try pointing the scripts at that.
