Re: Mail::Audit Resend Never Arrives

Here's a wild guess. If you're using sendmail, see what the MeToo setting is set to. If it's false, it will stop messages sent by a user to themselves from being delivered if the delivery is part of an alias expansion.

Also, try looking in your mail server logs to see if it gives any hints.

Thank you for your ingenious reply. I looked at the sendmail configuration and the MeToo line was commented out. From what I read on the subject the default value is false so this is probably the problem. Is there anyway to change this within the perl script I am running or will I just have to figure out a work around? I would change it in the server but it is not mine and I do not have write access to the configuration. Any ideas on how to change this within the script?	[reply]

You could try a `-O MeToo=True` option to `sendmail`. If that doesn't work, you could just use a different envelope sender to avoid the problem.	[reply] [d/l]
