    Hi,

    I am using an autoresponder called autoresponder unlimited. It has a config.cgi
    where I have to change some settings.

    This one is making me mad because I cannot send emails.

    This is what is written in the cgi file:
    ----------
    # Type the full path to your EMail program.
    # If you're not sure of this, ask your server administrator

    $mailprog="/usr/sbin/sendmail
    ----------
    I really dont know what in hell I should write in here.
    I used so many variations and searched google but nothing
    helped.
    Does anyone here can help me out?

    Thanks in advance

    $mailprog="/usr/sbin/sendmail

    Try putting $mailprog="/usr/sbin/sendmail";
    or $mailprog="/user/bin/sendmail";

    Make sure you have have the ; at the end of your line and that should work.

    PM me if you are still having trouble

    but thanks for offering me your help. no one else could do it :)

    As I got some info from the web, this script with a security bug which can let anyone
    enter your admin site without a password, unless your copy already fits otherwise
    better get rid of it.
