Thx to all who helped me get MySql and DBMail to speak. In dbmail.conf switched: #encoding = utf8 encoding = latin1 and #default_msg_encoding = utf8 default_msg_encoding = latin1
I could then get connected to create a user. I still wanted to use utf8, so I added below to my.cnf [mysqld] default-character-set = utf8 character-set-server = utf8 Switched dbmail.conf back to utf8...no luck. Dropped the dbmail database and re-created it with the above setting in my.cnf. Can now connect with utf8. mysql> show variables for dbmail still sayes: | character_set_client | latin1 | | character_set_connection | latin1 | | character_set_database | utf8 | | character_set_results | latin1 | | character_set_server | utf8 | | character_set_system | utf8 | but it works. Before the 'character_set_database' was latin1. thx again....now onto the next part of instructions. -Jim McIver _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
