I don't think email is functioning on my version 1.6.1.60.

I also don't know when it is suppose to send email.  Could someone direct me to this info?

I know it should send 'outbid' notice so it is definitely not working.  The email address is correct and valid.  The sendmail location is correct.  I tried the script using 'get_mail' and 'mailprog' and same results.

Here are my settings within eConfig161.pl:

# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

  $config{'get_mail'}            = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
  $config{'mailprog'}            = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; # no additional options please
 
# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
   #$config{'mailhost'}      = 'http://YourSMTP-Host';    
   
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
   $config{'web_server'}      = 1;

Thanks for any help.  I find this program to be very good for a proposed application I have - excellent response for help also - above normal - and very much appreciated.

No Luck!

As stated originally (in my non-technical words) I had already tried that.  I did find out after several responses from host services that the sendmail was at [ /usr/lib/sendmail ] not [ /usr/sbin/sendmail ].  I changed and still does not work using 'get_mail' or 'mailprog'.

I also added [ -t ] to 'mailprog' like in old EA1.5 and that did not work either - of course, you state 'no additional options' but I tried.

I have also tried other settings I found on this forum and they do not work.

I did upload a 'mail' program to same sub-directory as eAuction161 that uses the [ /usr/lib/sendmail ] and it functions ok from this directory so it leads me to believe it is problem in eAuction script.

I just downloaded and started to use in last couple of weeks so I downloaded current version again yesterday and compared to my version I am using = the same.  So no trash I don't think.

I am using 'Lost Alias' as you suggested to test if working or not.

Here are my settings within eConfig161.pl:

# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

  $config{'get_mail'}            = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting    
  $config{'mailprog'}            = '/usr/lib/sendmail'; # no additional options please
   
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
