Email error message

Hello, I'm getting this message trying to send mail from a form I'm
sending over the browser using the mail() function:

WARNING: RunAsUser for MSP ignored, check group ids (egid=0, want=51)

Does anyone know what this is telling me?

I think that that is sendmail talking. Sendmail is not set up correctly.
Sendmail runs in two modes for security. The root mode is only used for
handling network traffic. Local mail is handled using a different id and
a different mail queue. I think sendmail is telling you that is wasn't
able to run the local copy correctly, which is a security risk (a pretty
low level risk I think actually, these days, but still a problem over
all).

This will effect mail you are submitting to sendmail.

I am not sure whether this means sendmail was able to handle the mail or
had to give up.

If you are responsible for sendmail then you need to read the file called
SECURITY that comes with the sendmail source code.

Otherwise the sys admin should read that file.

thanks for your answer. I'll ask the sys guys to take a look.

Hi! I recently started playing with Python CGI, and I was happy that my basic input-name--print-hello-name CGI form example worked, so I thought I should advance to somew\hat more complicated scripts. I'm trying to write a basic Python email CGI script to send email through HTML email form. I've seen a lot of examples out there, but nothing I tried so far seemed to work. So I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

I have a web form where a client can select which site members to send an email to. This form is populated from the contents of the member table, so the form can have 0-x names listed on it depending on member expiration dates. When the form is submitted, the code loops through the form contents and sends an email to those members that meet the selected criteria. All this worked perfectly when I was sending text emails, but since I

Hi, I've recently set up a database, but have not experience of VBA and need to find a way of solving this problem. Basically, I would like to make a form with two buttons. On clicking one button an input box should appear asking for an email address and then an email should be sent to that address with an attachement. The other button should send an email to all the addresses in the email address field in a table.

I am no PHP programmer. At my current job I made it known that I was no PHP programmer during the interview.

I found this code for making a php email form for a web site. It works fine on my ISP, but not on my friends...could it be that my ISP uses php5, I know that hers does not, so I assume it's php4. Is there anyway to tell? Here's the code. It sends me email fine, but when it's on her ISP, it says it sent the mail, but nothing goes through. <?php if (isset($submit)) { switch ($recipient) { case "whole-family":

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
