The script wants Sendmail to function.

Sendmail is a hassle to configure, and every one says: Use something else.

Question: Can I just substitute the word "sendmail" in the script to [other name] and get it to work? And then when I know the script works, just change back before I put it on my hosts server?

Depends, on if the other app has a sendmail wrapper.

Postfix and Qmail both act like Sendmail. I think Exim does too.

OK, I'll try it and see what happens. Postfix is alreaddy installed on my server at home, so I'll try that one first. Thanks!
