Mail Entry Plugin not Mailing
Mail Entry Plugin not Mailing
I have setup the Mail Entry plugin in v0.7.1 but the new entries are not being mailed. Is there some further configuration that needs to be set up? Possibly something my hosting providers needs to do?

Serendipity uses the mail() function of PHP. PHP itself uses sendmail in the location it found when PHP got installed. If sendmail was not installed on the server, then the mail() function will fail.
Thus, your PHP webserver needs to support mail() so that the mail entries plugin can work.

Dortoh: No way, I'm sorry. This is a different logic and a different language, and different alltogether.
Just talk to your Server Administrator, they should be able to compile PHP with sendmail support easily.

Yes, both facilities use the same method of sending mails.
It may then very well be that your provider only allows your webserver to send mails to your domain, and not to other people. You should ask him if that kind of restriction is in effect.
