Re: sendmail not sending

I think you need to specify the recipient(s) on the command line, when using sendmail in this way. You might also want to consider the -i option, to stop it interpreting a . on its own as EOF:

open(MAIL, "| $sendmail -i $admin_mail")
    or die "Cannot open sendmail: $!";

You should, of course, check your local documentation for sendmail (man sendmail) for confirmation of this, as it may vary between Unix versions (I just did a quick test on HP-UX 11).

You could also use the -t option to sendmail to tell it to get its recipients from the To: header.	[reply]

Aha, yes, that too. I'd forgotten that one - thanks. I'm surprised no-one has yet pointed out that piping to sendmail might not be the best way of sending a mail. I tend to prefer Net::SMTP as it is more portable. But it depends what the OP has available, or was trying to achieve, I guess. s^^unp(;75N=&9I<V@`ack(u,^;s\|$.+\`\|"$`$'\"$&\"$"\|ee;/m.+h/&&print$&;	[reply] [d/l]
