I am sending daily emails out using email addresses from a text file, but the list of email addresses is being cut off half way through and the remainder included in the email body. Here is the code:

    # Open The Mail Program
    open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t");

    print MAIL "Bcc: $emails\n";
    print MAIL "From: chrisbarton\@postmaster.co.uk (PICTURE SEARCH)\n
+";
    print MAIL "Subject: PICTURE SEARCH REQUESTS $date\n\n";

 print MAIL "$date\n";
    print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n";
    while ($requests = <REQUESTS>) {
        print MAIL "$requests";
    }
    close(REQUESTS);

here is the contents of the email address text file:

It seems to work fine sending out the early email addresses but halfway through stops intepreting the contents of the text file as email address and just pastes the rest into the body of the email.

Its running on linux apparently
