WebBBS

[miranda]

My Client recently migrated the site from Unix to Win2k server. They have the WebBBs program and it has an email notification system in the board to email messages. I do not know perl and am a bit confused as to what to set the email settings to


This is what the settings were under Unix
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

$WEB_SERVER = "";
$SMTP_SERVER = "";

I have been told that /usr/lib/sendmail is probably incorrect since it is a Win2k server but I have no idea what to set it to Can someone help me out here? Would it be Net::SMTP?

I believe $WEB_SERVER should be www.domain.com, and $SMTP_SERVER should be mail.domain.com

I dunno if I'l helping any :P

I will try it and let you know if it worked.

that didn't work. However, I reread the documents and found out how to set it to get it working. :) Thanks for trying though. here is what i needed to set it at

$mailprog = 'libnet';

$WEB_SERVER = "";
$SMTP_SERVER = "mail-fwd";

plus this had been commented out and I had to uncomment it

use Socket;
use Net::SMTP;
