On my system (Debian<br>> Woody)= the php executable is /usr/bin/php4. I've hard coded it for now.<br>> P= erhaps PHPEXEC should be a setting in rolodap.conf. I'll see about adding<b= r>> this at a later date. Until then make sure that your correct php bin= ary is<br>> referenced.<br>><br>> sendmail.phtml would not run. In= depth analysis showed it crashing on the<br>> ldapsearch call. I've no = idea why it would crash. I've tried looking at the<br>> slapd debug outp= ut but have had no flashes of inspiration as yet. My<br>> interrim fix w= as to pass a list of email addresses rather than a list of<br>> uids fro= m mailform.phtml to sendmail.phtml. This way the ldapsearch is<br>> unne= cessary for determining the email addresses (and therefore commented<br>>= ; out), however it means that placeholders do not work (ie using <firstn= ame><br>> or <homephone> in the email will not result in the ac= tual data being mapped<br>> in - again this has been commented out). I'd= like to get this fixed, but<br>> will have to put it on the back burner= for now.<br>><br>> Finally support/smtp_mail.inc had a REALLY annoyi= ng bug and I had to<br>> monitor smtp traffic to find it. The MAIL FROM = and RCPT TO commands had<br>> spaces before the colons (ie "MAIL FROM :"= instead of the proper "MAIL<br>> FROM:"). Once fixed emails went out. I= don't know if these ever worked, or<br>> if some mail servers could han= dle the error but both my ISP's exim server<br>> and my local postfix se= rver got upset.<br>><br>> So, here are the files affected:-<br>> m= ailform.phtml<br>> startmailer.phtml - now redundant<br>> sendmail.ph= tml - lots of functionality commented out<br>> support/smtp_mail.inc - t= wo minor but very annoying bugs fixed<br>><br>> While I'm here, other= things I'd like to add to the email system are<br>> signatures (set up = via user preferences) and perhaps a more fully featured<br>> html email = editor.
