One of the funniest typos I've seen in a while

Subject:  [rt-users] Perl upgrade Broke my RT!
Date:      July 21, 2005 1:46:40 PM EDT
To:         rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com

We upgraded a couple of perl libraries due to some requirements from another application (relaydelay), and, while things worked through the night, this morning it was discovered that our RT installation was no longer displaying pages!

Hence, we get a zero sized reply, and emails to RT fail.

In a panic, we upgraded to 3.4.2 and the results were the same. :( I did notice the new standalone_httpd, which prompted for a quick test. Viola! The site was accessible and functional! Great.

Then, I saw a number of messages on STDOUT similar to the following:
[Thu Jul 21 17:42:18 2005] [crit]: Could not send mail. (/var/www/html/oursite.org/rt3/lib/RT/Action/SendEmail.pm:280)

Ack! A quick check showed that RT was unable to send email.

Anyone have any ideas on how to debug this? I'm in a bit of a panic and at a loss as to how to pull more information out of RT to determine WHY it cannot send email.

Thanks!
-Rich
