in reply to Problems Trying to Send E-Mail and Insert into Database

HI there,

here's a little fix. I had that problem once...

here's the code:

# add the recipient -t <recipient>
# I think it's required.

open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t $recipient") or die "Can't open pipe to $sendmail: +$!\n";

# Cya

    That code is dangerous unless you have precise control over $recipient. What's worse is that you already have -t, which means the message itself will be scanned for the recipients, so you don't (and shouldn't) specify them on the shell command line.
