hi everybody

i am about to install an alumni script. i am hosting my website on an NT server, but the script was initially made for unix server.

but in the readme.txt it says

Quote: This script is run primarily on a UNIX environment. You can execute it on an NT server but you may need to convert all the sendmail routines to BLAT.

does any body know what i should do? or where i can find something about this matter.

by the way, it's a free script, so there is no support from the developper!

thanks.

Blat is the sendmail replacement on NT. Basically, you need to go into the scripts and find the subroutines that send mail (just do a find the word 'sendmail'). Replace the commands sending mail through sendmail with commands sending mail through Blat. I've never used Blat, though, so you'll have to google for the syntax.
