Unless you're doing something more complicated than the code you posted, you should probably use the MailMsg method instead of manually calling Body and SendLineEnc. Here is your posted code using MailMsg: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Mail::Sender;

my $smtp     = "mail";
my $from     = "nwatson\@mydomain.com";
my $ticketad = "fakefrom\@mydomain.com";

my $sender = new Mail::Sender;
die "Error: $Mail::Sender::Error\n" unless ref $sender;

my $result = $sender->MailMsg(
  smtp      => $smtp,
  to        => $from,
  from      => $ticketad,
  #fake_from => $ticketad,
  subject   => "Reply from mydomain for TEST",
  headers   => "Errors-To: postmaster\@mydomain.com"});
  msg       => <<'*END*',

die "Error: $Mail::Sender::Error\n" unless ref $result;

ref($sender->Close())
  or die "Failed to send the message: $Mail::Sender::Error\n";

As to why your code isn't working, I'm guessing (and this is only a guess), that someone, somewhere (server or Mail::Sender) is getting confused by the mix of local newlines in the message body and the network newline at the end. Either that, or the socket is getting closed in some strange way that is not apparent from this code. *shrug*
