Hi

When I post a comment (or anyone else posts a comment) I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /srv/www/htdocs/blog/serendipity_functions.inc.php on line 1394

The comment still goes throught, but it doesn't look too good!

Any ideas?

Robin

Hi

Sorry...this isn't a bug!

Its a problem with my system because I don't have sendmail set up. Is there a way to set up Serendipity to use a different smtp server (for example, my ISP's server - smtp.dsl.pipex.com)???

I would like to have the mail function working as it would be very useful?

Is this possible?

No not at the moment, I suggest you fix mail() instead :) Since it's used by many PHP applications.

Does the mail() function rely on the sendmail server?

Is there anyway to test the sendmail server is working correctly?
