Hi, [id://keiusui]. It just occurred to me to ask you - are you sure you've got these programs (sendmail and qmail) on your computer? I know this sounds dumb, but it's the sort of thing that can be overlooked (and I've done it).

I'm assuming you're using Linux (if you're using Windows, then you probably don't have those programs). Try going to a console and typing 'type qmail', or 'type sendmail', and seeing whether you get a path to the program, or a message saying that the program couldn't be found. On my Linux box, I have neither qmail nor sendmail; I've got procmail.

If you've got one or both of these, you may need to check the man pages (typing, 'man sendmail' or 'man qmail') to find out what the missing pieces are. You should be able to send mail from the command line, and certainly from a Perl script. Of course, if you don't have these programs, then you'll need to use what you have, or install one or both of them.
