And by *nix, Jeeves (or Biggles, or Sweetie, depending on who you ask) is referring to mainly Unix and Linux, which common origins.

Unfortunately most scripts (especially those whose origins are Linux) expect you to be using a *nix server.

The filesystem on *nix starts with "/" (root) and is structured from there, so /usr/sbin/sendmail is pointing to an executable called "sendmail" in "/usr/sbin"

As Windows uses drive names like "C:\" the Linux path means nothing to it. Naturally, I'd recommend you use Linux, but then I'm a zealot

Let us know how you get on with getting it working.

the /usr/sbin/sendmail is for Linux/FreeBSD OS's.

I did a search, and found this for perl for windows: http://www.indigostar.com/sendmail.htm

It's pretty much always /usr/bin/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail on unix boxes in my experience. The best person to ask would be your hosting provider or whoever manages your server for you.

The default is sometimes right, you might want to try it and see if it works.

You might be able to find it on your hosting's web site, just look through the faq, it could also be in the email that they sent you with all of your information. If not just email them and ask them like Greg said.

if you have shell (telnet) acess, try the following:

locate sendmail (if you can't scroll back up the results, use locate sendmail | more to have it pause after each screenfull).

Usually it is towards the top of the list, under /usr/ then possibly under bin or sbin, sometimes after local

If you don't have shell access, the people who maintain the webserver should be able to quickly advise you on this.
