Somebody can already faced with a problem and will explain why does not work sendmail in auction under WinNT?

NT/win2k servers doesn't include the sendmail-program.
Therefore you have to specify the SMTP-Host.

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'mailprog'} = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://YourSMTP-Host';

Try:
$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://localhost';
or just ask your webspace-provider for a valid SMTP-URL

All the matter is that the sendmail-program just costs on NT4 and works with
other programs of my site - forum, guest book and others.
And when I for the test put:

$config{'get_mail'} = 0;

$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://localhost';

Receive

Error

By different tests has achieved start sendmail-program in version: eA-1.6.1.56

#-#############################################
# SUB: Send E-mail

if ($config{'web_server'} != 0) {
^^^
$$message =~ s/[\r\n]/\<br\>/g;

But she all the same does not work

Log:

Sendmail for Windows V1.16 at Wed Apr 21 16:55:34 2004

Licensed to Administrator for ..... [...]
Error: no recipients specified

In version: eA-1.6.1.58 and it does not work ...

Either you use an SMTP-Host or you use the sendmail-program your server has installed.
Sorry - but I can't help because I don't know the possibilities of your server.

Not sure if this will help you, but I was having the same issue and fixed by removing this line from the sendmail sub

print $socket "QUIT\015\012";

I have no idea what the above line does, but it was stopping my mail server from sending email

cheers

Right ...

Quote:

that will stop sending emails at once :'(
because the server is waiting for the 'QUIT' for hours.
Very bad idea :o

Well,

If this is the case, why does my smtp server not work at all with the above command in place?

With the command taken out, my mail server sends mail instantly and without flaw.

I am running on a widnows XP box using ArGoSoft Mail Server http://www.argosoft.com
