Hello Daniel<BR>
As always I should have RTFM before posting, anyway, after correcting sendmail_path in php.ini I still get the same error in mail.log.<BR>
I have not found any ref to this in streber, but it may well rewrite the value of sendmail_path.<BR>
<BR>
Anyway thanks a lot for that. It does confirm my thoughts.<BR>
Cheers<BR>
E<BR>
