belize has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Apache/1.3.12 Cobalt (Unix)
perl5.00503
/usr/sbin/sendmail
I am having the following problem. The form script works flawlessly. At each sub-routine, we have inserted an Error branch to let us know if it doesn't work. The script parses, replaces variables, opens sendmail, and retuirns the correct page upon completion. But no emails are sent.
We have tried multiple emails to test incase an email was not working. The server admins say that sendmail is working. We don't have access to any error logs.
My question: Is there a way to test if sendmail is working other than having it send an email and to see if it returns? I mean shouldn't we have some indication somewhere that the emails are or are not being sent?
