First off, i agree with /\/\averick that calling sendmail directly is risky, but if you must do such things (e.g. prod machine and modules cannot be installed with out internal QA :-( ), sendmail will take multiple addresses (untested code ahead):
my $local_addr = 'some@addr.com'; my @addrs = qw(mzsanford@cpan.org foo@perl.com joe@cool.com); my $mail_string = join(',',@addrs); open(MAIL,"| /usr/lib/sendmail -t") || die "fork() : $!\n"; print MAIL "From: $local_addr\n"; print MAIL "To: $local_addr\n"; print MAIL "Bcc: $mail_string\n\n"; print MAIL "Subject: hello\n"; print MAIL "foo, bar, and the like.\n"; print MAIL "\n.\n"; close(MAIL) || die "close() : $!\n";
... but i am not sure, and my unix box is down at the moment so i can't test. Also, they will get a mail from you, to you, and BCC'd to them ... common spammer stuff ... i even have a filter for it.
