Hi,

I tried the following code with g++ on a Unix Apache server.
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
 FILE* mail = popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail", "tw");
 cout // << errno << endl
  << mail << endl;
 return 0;
}

The errno is commented because g++ complained about an undeclared
identifier.
I get NULL as result, meaning the pipe couldn't get opened.
When I use system("/usr/sbin/sendmail"); it starts fine, meaning that it's
accessible.
