That 'reversed' function was introduced in Python 2.4, so you would need at least that. I'm pretty sure Dreamhost has later version, but they might not run by default. @marc – yep, you just beat me to it.

for entry in reversed(feed.entries):
NameError: name ‘reversed’ is not defined

It’s a DH shared hosting.

This is controlled by the 'msgmode' setting in the config file.

I have one more question: is it possible to form the OMB message from few fields, i.e. title+summary? And one more suggestion: to add some variable, where users could store some static text like tags or groups and add them to the end of msg. I am do this with RegExp's, but it requer some knowledge of them and I am not sure everyone can use it so easy :) Thank you for help – it works!

It's not good that feed2omb is throwing that error message at you rather than something more helpful, but either way it still can't deal with it the way it's set up. HOWEVER - if you put 'sentmode = sentlinks' into the config file, in place of 'sentmode = timestamp' which I think you must have now, I think it will work. (Documentation for that feature can be found here: <a href="http://projects.ciarang.com/p/feed2omb/page/ConfigFiles" rel="nofollow">http://projects.ciarang.com/p/feed2omb/page/ConfigFiles</a>.

What's the error you're getting when you've done that? Alex, I think it needs to be http, so you were right to change it. What’s the error you’re getting when you’ve done that?
