Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to getting email to work with openacs

Well, i got it working, by switching off qmail and switching on sendmail (per Simon Millard's recommendation)... but i would like to know how to get it working with qmail. Qmail is listening to port 25 when it is turned on, it is not using a fully qualified domain name because it currently does not recieve external network mail (all the computers within the network are running a hosts file that does internal resolving). It is able to recieve and send mail to the internet at large from within other applications and from other computers within the office, since it works with other apps i am assuming that it should work with openacs... sendmail is set up the same way... i am guessing i would just need to tell openacs where qmail-inject is, but this is just a guess, i and i wouldn't know where to do this. It seems like with sendmail it knows to look at /usr/sbin/sendmail. Here is my nsd.tcl file:
ns_log notice "nsd.tcl: starting to read config file..."
