Environment :
Operating System: Redhat RHEL5
MT: MT5
Dedicated virtural server (our own server, not a virtualised server from an ISP)
We are evaluating MT on one of our servers to determing if MT is the right product for us. The products looks very powerful, however we are having a few teething problems in getting the system to work with sendmail.
Reviewing 'System Information' under 'System Overview >Tools > System Information', sendmail is not operationg with MT and the following message is returned:
Mail::Sendmail
This module is required for sending mail via SMTP Server.
Your server does not have Mail::Sendmail installed, or Mail::Sendmail requires another module that is not installed. Please consult the installation instructions for help in installing Mail::Sendmail. Details:

Sendmail is installed on the server and is found under the following paths:
/var/lock/subsys/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/share/doc/sendmail
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail
I have manually added the following path to mt-config.cgi:
MailTransfer sendmail
SendMailPath /usr/sbin/sendmail
Can someone please help to resolve the problem?

I'm also learning this,can you help me?
That means you have a missing Perl package. I don't know which RPM corresponds to Mail::Sendmail, but it shouldn't be too hard to find. You should be just one more RPM away from getting it working.
Thanks Mike.
I'm using the Redhat perl RPM, which doesn't appear to have MT::Sendmail.
I had naively thought that Mail::Sendmail was the same as Sendmail, the mail service that ships with Redhat Enterprise Linux. I've found the perl version on the CPAN website.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
