#UPDATE: So theres a variable I use in the second email,
it comes from user input, in a form. Somehow its screwing up
sendmail, but im unsure if its caused by just whitespace,
I tried formatting the string using

$string =~ s/\s+$//;

@@ Thing is, I tried this earlier to no avail... but with this webserver my 
company is using .. I wouldn't be suprised it wasn't working.. 
eh.. thanks ALOT Perlbotics @@


EndUpdate
So I have a script sending an email with info, it then sends a confirmation email. the first email works fine: 
 
print  MAIL <<EOF;
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
To: info\.someone\@somecompany.com
bcc: $recipient
From: info\@somecompany.com
Subject: BLABLABLA - $SomeVar - $Date


#some text bla bla

EOF
close(MAIL);

the second part is what bugs me, its pretty much the same 
 
print  SECONDMAIL <<EOF;
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
To: info\.someone\@somecompany.com
bcc: $recipient
From: info\@somecompany.com
Subject: BLABLABLA - $SomeVar - $Date


#some text bla bla

EOF
close(SECONDMAIL);

[download]
so the problem is this, the first email comes through ok, the second email comes through, but does not retail the bcc:, from:, or even the subject:!!!, instead, bcc,from, and subject are included in the email as text inside the email, as oppose to information sendmail uses. (it just copies the rest of the text directly as the message) what could I possibly be doing wrong?

In reply to using sendmail with perl, second email does not recognize anything but To: by dark314
