This should be fixed now. Previously, for a while now in v3.20a, failed calls to menu() were just silent failures. That's been fixed. So that's now highlight another (long-standing) issue when display files in "text" (rather than text/menu) and that your script's setting of the global "menu_dir" caused to fail. This should be fixed now (we won't use the global "menu_dir" as a sub-dir of text/menu when the menu "code" being displayed starts with '.' (as in, "../bullseye.asc").

No recent changes to that script or jseexc. I'm still using sendmail.js (via jsexec) successfully on my BBS.

Does that file exist? The DDLoginMatrix may need to use the P_NOERROR flag in calls to menu() if they don't want failures to be reported as errors.
