I have set up PHP XMAIL and all works fine I am trying to set up formmail and I keep getting the error :
Application Error
An error has occurred in the program

close sendmail pipe failed, mailprog=[/opt/bin/sendmail -oi -t] at (eval 8) line 108.

When I run /opt/bin/sendmail -oi -t as a command line I get :
cannot find enviroment variable: MAIL_ROOT

I have set up xmail on a synology DS-207 using IPKG from what I have read I have to change the sendmail PGM this is currently located in /opt/bin.

Can anyone help with this configuration.

Hello,
I do not know your system, anyway it seems that there is something wrong in the starting script (XMAIL_ROOT is not exposed).

In my Ubuntu test machine it is located in
Code: /etc/init.d/xmail
for other system it may be in something as ..init.rc..
In /etc/init.d/xmail file you must find the line starting with
Code: XMAIL_ROOT=<your XMAIL directory> (for Ubuntu is XMAIL_ROOT=/var/lib/xmail): check that the path respects your installation path; remember to restart Xmail if you made changes in that file.

ANOTHER ISSUE may be the content of your SENDMAIL script, it should contain something as:
Code: ..
 export MAIL_ROOT=/var/lib/xmail
..

where /var/lib/xmail should respect your effective installation path for XMAIL.

le me know if you solved it.

Hi,

Thanks for your help I am running xmail on a synology DS-207 NAS server it works fine the only two problems I have is the send mail issue and it will not auto start.
My set up details are as follows: xmail is located at /opt/var/MailRoot
The start up files (ie .sh files) are located at /usr/syno/etc/rc.d
I have copied the file xmail to this location (/usr/syno/etc/rc.d) and renamed it S43xmail.sh a vi of this file reads as follows: XMAIL
My sendmail script confuses me it reads as follows : SENDMAIL.jpg sceenshot
Any help would be greatly appreciated:

At a first view it seems ok.

I have the suspect that Xmail is not the direct responsable for the error.

I think that
a) you should work on 'sendmail'
b) the one you find is not the true sendmail script.

Anyway may be you will find something usefull in this forum:
