Monday, December 29, 2003 Hello Andy, I too had a problem when the mail command failed unexpectedly. It turned out that the mail process on my redhat+qmail setup was running as user vpopmail hence the tilde-expansion in Transaction.pm was becoming /home/vpopmail/tmp/
However, the log file showed this to me saying that permissions were wrong, couldn't create directory, etc....(see the Transaction.pm file for the exact error messages) The way I tested it was by running qpsmtpd in a console and sending mail to the problematic box from another box using goodbox$ mail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] This showed me the smtp transaction and where exactly it bombed...and the console on the faulty box showed me the qpsmtpd log where it went wrong.. My error differs from yours but hopefully it might help you in debugging your further...another thing...if Mail::Address is on the bleeding edge, try rolling back a release or two...that too helps... -- Best regards, Ashish mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.- Thomas Edison ********************************************************************* Internet Wizards - The finest in web services! http://www.inwiz.com ********************************************************************* Monday, December 29, 2003, 10:22:22 PM, you wrote: AR> Skaag Argonius wrote: >> Can you maybe post some information about your system and the version of >> perl used? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Aric >> >> AR> I had all that info in my original email.
