[Orca-dev] Re: /usr/local/orca/bin/orca: warning: cannot f ork forsendmail: No s uch file or directory

[Blair Zajac]

If we could replace this with a CPAN module that can send email on Unix
and Win32 regardless of sendmail/postfix, that would be great.  There's
a ton of modules in CPAN that contain the word 'Mail' so we'll have to
look into it and see which is the best to use.
