I've been trying to get various perl mailing scripts running. They all pretend to run and everything displays correctly, but I don't actually receive e-mail sent to myself. I've checked with my webhost to verify the perl and sendmail paths are correct, and of course my e-mail is correct. My website uses Apache and Linux. I've stripped the sendmail code to: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

$from="don\@canzona.com";
$to="don\@canzona.com";
$subject="I\'m sending myself a test e-mail!";
$sendmailpath="/usr/sbin/sendmail";

if (open (SENDMAIL, "| $sendmailpath -t"))
{
  print SENDMAIL "Subject: $subject\n";
  print SENDMAIL "From: $from\n";
  print SENDMAIL "To: $to\n";
  print SENDMAIL "This is a test e-mail.\n\n";
  close (SENDMAIL);

  print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";
  print "Subject: $subject\n";
  print "<BR>";
  print "From: $from\n";
  print "<BR>";
  print "To: $to\n";
  print "<BR>";
  print "This is a test e-mail.\n\n";
  print "<BR>";
  print "e-mail sent.\n";
}
exit;

Everything displays correctly, but I don't receive the e-mail. Can someone either tell me what stupid mistake I've made, or suggest a way to check what sendmail is actually doing?
