Hey everyone. I have a problem with MIME::Lite I'm hoping someone can help me with. Searched Google, here, asked on IRC, no one seems to have the problem much less the solution :).

I'm using MIME::Lite, I've used it extensively in the past without a problem, but now on a particular program, it seems to ignore the From header that I specify and instead show my messages as coming from 'nobody@myserver.com'

Here's the code, almost the same as the docs with just some minor differences for my own variables

  
   my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
            From    =>$CONFIG{submit_by},
            To      =>$CONFIG{submit_to},
            Subject =>$CONFIG{subject},
            Type    =>'TEXT',
            Data    =>$message,
        );

    if($CONFIG{SENDMAIL}) {
        MIME::Lite->send("sendmail","$CONFIG{SENDMAIL} -t");
    }
    elsif($CONFIG{SMTP_SERVER}) {
      MIME::Lite->send("smtp",$CONFIG{SMTP_SERVER},Timeout=>30);
    }
    else {
        # Yikes! No send method specified. Abort
        croak "No send method specified.\n";
    }

    $msg->send();

I've verified that my %CONFIG has the information it needs to work including an email address in the 'submit_by' but all the messages I receive from it have 'nobody' as the sender. I've tried sending this both through my sendmail installation and through a remote SMTP server (postfix) with the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
