Just use local() within a block as tybalt89 suggested to save and then restore the filehandles.

sub SendMemberMail {
  my ($subject,$from,$to,$port,$cc,$bcc,$heading,$body,$closing,$signi
+ture,$auth) = @_;
  warn("In SendMemberMail before redirect of STDERR & STDOUT");
  
  $Mail::sendMail::mailcfg{'debug'} = 6;
  $Mail::sendMail::mailcfg{'port'}  = $port;

  my $message = "$heading\n\n$body\n\n$closing\n\n$signiture\n";
  my %mail   = ( 
     To      => $to,
     From    => $from,
     Cc      => $cc,
     Bcc     => $bcc,
     Subject => $subject,
     Message => $message, 
  );

  if ($auth == 1) {
    $mail{'Auth'} = {
      user     => '', 
      password => '', 
      method   => 'PLAIN LOGIN', 
      required => 1 };
  };

  my $logfile = '/home/abcus/public_html/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/Ma
+il/mail.log';
  open my $fh, '>>', $logfile or die "Error opening $logfile : $!";
  SEND: { 
    local *STDOUT = $fh;
    local *STDERR = $fh;
  
    if ( SendMail(%mail) ) {
      print $Mail::sendMail::log;
    } else {
      print $Mail::sendMail::error;  
    }
  }
  close $fh;
  select STDOUT;
  
  # Test original handles
  print "stdout 2\n";
  warn("warn stderr 2\n");
 
  return 1;
}
