Ah, Looks like I've swapped one problem for another. I can't install any plugins since I made that change last night. Is it because I hard coded the mail address?!

Glad we got to the bottom of it

Did you end up hardcoding the email or using $maildata['blogMail'] ?

Harcoding, I just wanted the issue resolved, and once set, I won't want to change it.

Looks like fasthosts locked down their php installation.
Create a html file with the following <?php
phpinfo();
?>

upload this to your server directory, and then open the file in your browser.... this will dump the php.ini settings for you to look at.

check the sendmail settings.

Looks like it ...

Check your php.ini to see how it is configured.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to be a dolt, where do I find php.ini?

Yeah, I've double checked that. I've also checked the mailbox is sending and ...

Hi!

No, s9y simply uses the mail() command, there is no difference in which path this runs, because it uses no path parameters.

The only thing that mail() uses is the blog's mail address. If that is invalid, this might be a reason why the command fails. You might want to check the jmail server ...

Hi!

I've never heard of that.If it doesn't support sendmail hooks, you can't use the php MAIL() command....

Having looked at it again, this wasn't it, because it has sent some email out.

I'm thinking it's a path to server thing. I did move my s9y installation from /serendipity ...

Aparently, my hosting company uses a thing called "Jmail", does this alter matters?

Hi,

I have set up all the email fields correctly in the various configuration screens in s9y. But it doesn't seem to want to send emails notifying my of posts, new guestbook entries or comments. Any Ideas?

How do I check the interation of the S9y application and the host email server?

I've been trying to get Either XINHA or TinyMCE to work. But no joy as yet.

I've installed the event plugin, downloaded the files and unzipped them to my local machine, then ftp'd them to the right directory on the webserver. Then followed the instructions on the configuration page.

Got to say I've gone from a concept, to having a fully functioning website with all the bells and whistles, ready for content and promotion in 72 hours, while doing my day job.

That's some going. Thankyou s9y!

Er don't worry. I copied it back, had a go at my original plan, copied it back to root again and it worked. Panic over!
