Monks, I have a situation where I'm looping through a list to send an email out. There are 9 possible email addresses, even though 99% of the time only the $email variable exists. My logs show errors every time an email is sent. It's as if this loop is trying to send to the other 8 $pscemail vars even though they are empty.
@email = ($email,$pscemail1,$pscemail2,$pscemail3,$pscemail4,$pscemail +5,$pscemail6,$pscemail7,$pscemail8); foreach $address (@email) { open (HTMLMAIL, "|$sendmail $address") || die "Can't o +pen $sendmail!\n"; print HTMLMAIL "From: $name <$adminemail>\n"; #print HTMLMAIL "Reply-to: $fromname <$fromemail>\n"; print HTMLMAIL "To: $address\n"; print HTMLMAIL "Subject: $subject\n"; print HTMLMAIL "Content-type: text/html\n"; Print HTMLMAIL "blah blah blah"; close (HTMLMAIL); }
I'm not sure how to solve this. I assumed it simply wouldn't send if the vars were empty. This is the error I'm getting 7x: sendmail.postfix: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option:
