Hi,

my system info:

QUOTE

Mail::Sendmail
Your server does not have Mail::Sendmail installed, or Mail::Sendmail requires another module that is not installed. This module is required for sending mail via SMTP Server. Please consult the installation instructions for help in installing Mail::Sendmail.

All authors DO receive notification.

On sign-up, the confirmation email is never sent.
I have had several working MT installations of MT since 2.7, but this is the first time I allow user sign-up.
I don't want to use SMTP for transport.

QUESTION:

What should I tell the admin (what module may be missing)?
I'm on Linux server and MT 4.1. Default path to sendmail.
Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks!

Go to System Overview -> Settings (top right of your admin screens).
On the General page, is System Email empty? If it is, provide one.

Su-

that was it.

Thank you

P.S. for some reason the email address appears truncated in Safari, but it works anyway.

I have a quick follow up question.

I use a single MT install to run sites on a number of distinct domains. Is there a way to specify this email address per blog? A system wide email address is not useful since it will only be relevant to members of one blog.
