I have a simple Perl script to send email using Sendmail program. When I execute this script from my house (Comcast internet connection) is does not work.

The script does not give any error, and i do not have any mail in the 'mail' of my account. But, I still do not see any email in my inbox. I have checked my 'junk' email folder as well and I do not see email from this script.

The same script works if I am at other location, other than my house.

Do I need to do any additional setup? I am running this on MacBook/OSX 10.9

Thanks. 

--Here is my script
$to = 'soni.nimesh@gmail.com';
$from = 'soni_nimesh@hotmail.com';
$subject = 'Test Email';
$message = 'This is test email sent by Perl Script';
 
open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
 
# Email Header
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
# Email Body
print MAIL $message;

close(MAIL);
print "Email Sent Successfully\n";
