[QUOTE="starone, post: 1034976, member: 150504"] Hello, I was asked by a friend to help them solve a problem with a CGI app running on a Mac server. While I have almost 30 years in software, the Mac has not been a significant part of my experience. The issue concerns the applications sending of email notification as part of a process. I can see authentication failures in the "mail" console log. However, when I use Finder and Spotlight to try and find the file containing the email address and server listed in the error messages, the searches turn up nothing. I can see from the code that the app is using SendMail ("Open ("bin/sendmail..."), but I can find the configuration or the directory. I read that SendMail is usually configured by a Root user and that the files may be hidden to other users. Is this likely? (I would just login as Root and check, but they are having trouble locating the password :Angry-Tongue: ;D) Thank you!! Take care, Scott [/QUOTE]
