What web server are you using?  If you're using IIS, there's some additional
setup you have to do for taint mode to work.  There's a bunch of discussion
about it in bug 140784

Question: have you read the Windows installation notes in the documentation?

Comment 3

[Eugene]

I have Windows 2000 and Apache 1.3 installed.

After removing -T flag from "#!d:/perl/bin/perl -wT"
it seems to work

Comment 4

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

Removing the -T flag will affect security, so you really don't want to do that.

Have you read the win32 instructions?

Comment 5

[Eugene]

Yes, I have read instructions for Win32.
And?

Could you tell me what is wrong?
Or, at least, where it could be wrong?

Comment 6

[Jouni Heikniemi]

This is just the tip of the problems involved in our current Win32 support or
lack thereof. While bbaetz is right about removing -T being the wrong solution,
it's the simplest one by far. If you want to use the -T, see bug 124174 comment
0 for a proposal on how you might want to do the processmail calls.

For a long term solution, you're going to want to apply the patch from the
mentioned bug, since that fixes the mail interface much more coolly anyway. Or
wait for 2.18 where it will be built-in.

This was fixed by the checkin for bug 124174.
