Hello Noel, > Run > > $ export > > and see if you have USER defined in your environment. Alternatively, you can > use LOGNAME instead. When I run "export" on the shell, I can see that both USER and LOGNAME are defined. But I think this information isn't very helpfull, since many people (so am I -> JAMES-662) call the sendmail-wrapper from PHP (or any other CGI-script) within the webserver. The enviroment here may be completely different (in my case (and maybe in many others) USER and LOGNAME are _not_ set in the webserver-enviroment). IMHO your script a least should make arrangements for the case that USER isn't set (don't know if Python has an exception-handling - I'm no Python-programmer) and set a default-value instead in case of emergency ;-) > debian linux is insufficiently descriptive, lacking a version number.
