Re: mail() help (fwd)

This is most likely the patch that 'broke' it; ---------------------------- revision 1.121 date: 2001/02/21 07:39:13; author: sas; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 Instead of assuming that sendmail lives in /usr/lib, if we don't find it, we also check /usr/lib now. PR: #9362 ---------------------------- -AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail, /usr/lib/sendmail, $PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib) +AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail,[], $PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib) I think this is good. If some resource isn't available, then the function using the resource shouldn't be enabled either. So the correct fix would be to add a error message to mail() function, IMO. --Jani On Tue, 17 Jul 2001, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: >I am not a fan of that config change that happened in 4.0.6 that checked >to see if a sendmail binary is on the path and if it isn't it disables the >mail() function at compile time.
