Everything is set up and running..accept the $_CONF['site_mail'] configuration doesn't work. I have added the entries in the array $_CONF['notification'] but the email doesn't work. It's running on a Redhat 8 Server and sendmail is working fine - also the emails via the "Contact" Link work correctly. What's wrong? Thnx in advance!

$_CONF['site_mail'] is just a variable which you set to your site's email address. It has no moving parts for it not to work. The contact link does not use the site's address in the email's from or to line.

Most likely the problem has something to do with your mail server such as the settings or it doesn't like some parameter in the mail function being fed to it by Geeklog. If it's the former, can't help you. If it's the latter, here's some troubleshooting steps to follow.

Actually, it sounds like he wants to be notified when e.g. someone posts a new story. Then you need to setup both the site_mail and the notification variables, e.g. like this: $_CONF['site_mail'] = 'admin@example.com'; $_CONF['notification'] = array ('story'); That should work (and does for me ...). bye, Dirk
