in thread Ways to test sendmail

Here is the Sub SendMail:

sub SendMail {
    if (-e $FORM{'template'}) { }
    else { &Error('Template File Not Found - Error at sendmail subscri
+pt'); }
    
    open (FILE, $FORM{'template'});
    @File = <FILE>; close (FILE);
    open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") || &Error('Unable to Open Sendmail');
    print MAIL "To: $FORM{'mailto'}\n";
    print MAIL "From: $FORM{'req-EMail'} ($FORM{'req-FName'} $FORM{'re
+q-LName'})\n";
    print MAIL "Subject: $FORM{'subject'}\n";
    print MAIL "Bcc: \n\n";
    print MAIL "This information request form is from the Rainforest &
+ Reef Resorts of Belize website.\n";
    print MAIL "*************************************************\n";
    print MAIL "This form was submitted at $time by $FORM{'req-FName'}
+ $FORM{'req-LName'} ($FORM{'req-EMail'}).\n";
    print MAIL "For your records, this is Form Request Number \= $Orde
+r from this website.\n";
    print MAIL "*************************************************\n\n"
+;

    foreach $File (@File) {
        $File =~ s/\n//;
        foreach $Field (@InputFields) {
            $ReplaceVar = $FORM{$Field}; 
            $SearchVar = '\[' . $Field . '\]';
            $File =~ s/$SearchVar/$ReplaceVar/g; 
        }        
    print MAIL "$File\n"; }
    close (MAIL);
}

After performing this subroutine, it then:

sub Redirect {
    if ($FORM{'success'}) { 
        print "Location: $FORM{'success'}\n\n"; }
}

The "success" page is returned, but the mail does not go out and the email is added to the "dead.letter" file.

Any ideas?

    Hmmm, well Some hints (no big help though): 
      sub SendMail {
#  add debugging
      my $debug = 6;
      if (-e $FORM{'template'}) { }
      else { &Error('Template File Not Found - Error at sendmail subsc
+ript'); }

    [download]
    Normally (note adding the missing file name to error msg): 
       
if ( ! -e $FORM{'template'}) {
     &Error('Template File $FORM{template} Not Found - Error at sendma
+il subscript'); 
}

      open (FILE, $FORM{'template'});<br>

    [download]
    always:
       
      open (FILE, $FORM{'template'}) or die "can't open FILE $FORM{tem
+plate}: $!";<br>
   
      @File = <FILE>; close (FILE);
      open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") || &Error('Unable to Open Sendmail'
+);

    [download]
    Try: 
          open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") || &Error("Unable to Open $mailprog
+: $!");
print "<p>trying: $mailprog -t<br>
To: $FORM{mailto}<br>
From: $FORM{req-EMAIL} ($FORM{req-FName} $FORM{req-LName})<br>
Subject: $FORM{subject}<br>\n"
    if $debug > 5;
      print MAIL "To: $FORM{'mailto'}\n";
      print MAIL "From: $FORM{'req-EMail'} ($FORM{'req-FName'} $FORM{'
+re
  +q-LName'})\n";
      print MAIL "Subject: $FORM{'subject'}\n";
      print MAIL "Bcc: \n\n";
      print MAIL "This information request form is from the Rainforest

  + Reef Resorts of Belize website.\n";
      print MAIL "*************************************************\n"
+;

      print MAIL "This form was submitted at $time by $FORM{'req-FName

  + $FORM{'req-LName'} ($FORM{'req-EMail'}).\n";
      print MAIL "For your records, this is Form Request Number \= $Or
+de
  +r from this website.\n";
      print MAIL "*************************************************\n\
+n"
  +;

      foreach $File (@File) {
          $File =~ s/\n//;
          foreach $Field (@InputFields) {
              $ReplaceVar = $FORM{$Field}; 
              $SearchVar = '\[' . $Field . '\]';
              $File =~ s/$SearchVar/$ReplaceVar/g;

    This is odd, does each file (file name) possibly have every/any input field w/i it? Anyway, this is/may be 'cooler'
      $File =~ s/\[$Field]/$FORM{$Field}/g;  # do you need an 'e' too?
          }        
      print MAIL "$File\n"; }
      close (MAIL);
  }

    Only thing I can see is that, as you don't (here) verify the sender's address or the To: address, it may have junk in there that sendmail doesn't like. Do you need pointy brackets around the actual To|From address parts?
