Question

By submitting a new user through twiki registration page, I got an error message: Error registering new user Internal error when sending email to: Please contact You have not been registered

I have checked my sendmail using command line ( echo "test" |mail xxx@yahooPLEASENOSPAM.com) and find out it's worked properly.

Checking the webserver errorlog find out:

[Fri Jul 20 15:23:19 2007] [error] [client 192.168.xxx.xxx] at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8 .8/i386-linux-thread-multi/POSIX.pm line 19

I do not want to bypass the registration. Is that anyway to force twiki to use sendmail instead of Net::smtp (perl smtp module?)

Please give detail direction how to set up the SMTP (don't just telling the smtp is not configured properly).

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

TWiki will use sendmail if you do not have a {SMTP}{MAILHOST} defined. So just leave that field empty in configure, and it should use MailProgram, which is sendmail by default.

Let me know if this helps!
