Configuring the PayPal Password Management Script

Updating your PayPal Account Preferences

8. The PayPal Password Management script features email alerts to notify the website

operator of any unexpected errors. Enabling this feature requires you to modify the

following constants:

my $SENDMAIL_PATH = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

my $ADMIN_EMAIL = 'admin@abc123.com';

The $SENDMAIL_PATH should be filled in with the location of sendmail. Your ISP or system

administrator should be able to provide this information.

$ADMIN_EMAIL can be any valid

email address. All email notifications are sent to this address.

If you aren't interested in receiving error notification emails you can disable this feature by

leaving the

$ADMIN_EMAIL and $SENDMAIL_PATH fields empty.

9. You will need to enter the primary email address of your PayPal account. This is important

to validate the notifications sent to you.

The last user constant: @PAYMENT_EMAILS is your primary PayPal email address.

my @PAYMENT_EMAILS = ('payme@paypal-test-adr.com');

NOTE: If you change your primary email address in your PayPal account you will have to

change this variable.
