Hello. I'm sorry for answering this email so late; I didn't have enough time to try to fix it.
Lars, I've installed ssmtp and it works fine; however, I'm still getting the same error in Pootle when someone tries to create an account; do I have to do something else? Anyways, /usr/bin/mail is a softlink to /usr/sbin/ssmtp Thanks in advance. On 12/9/07, Lars Kruse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > > Both the smtp server and the "from" address are right.
