When I register a user in openacs-4.6.2 I get the following error message:
Mail Failed
can't read 'hostname' :no such variable

Can anyone help?

Hi George,

can you tell your settings in your nsdconfig.tcl? The default is:

set hostname    [ns_info hostname]

Did you set the hostname in /etc/hosts or do run a DNS?

Did you change the sendmail.tcl?

What is the result if you ping your hostname?

Maybe that might help to know.
