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?
