DIAGNOSTICS

Warning: Avoid program abuse: specify an absolute path for $exec.

Specifying explicit locations for executables of email transfer agents should only be done with absolute file names, to avoid various pontential security problems.

Warning: Executable $exec does not exist.

The explicitly indicated mail transfer agent does not exists. The normal settings are used to find the correct location.

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
