*** FIX ***

Only because I modified the perl code:
In the ubb_library2.pl file there is a function called SendEmail(). Near the
top of this function there is a line which reads:
$remote_ip = gethostbyname($EmailServer);
The gethostbyname() function doesn't seem to work on our servers - it
returns null, or at least, something which doesn't print on the screen.
So, after looking for a way to hard code the IP, I replaced it with this:
$remote_ip = inet_aton($EmailServer);
Which seems to return a valid IP address (provding an IP address is entered
in the control panel - I don't know what happens if you add a domain name).
So I haven't so much fixed the original problem, as bodged a fix. I don't
know perl *at all* so I can't really work out what's really going on...
I'd still be happier if it was fixed properly...
Thanks,
Nick...
