That works tremendously. I was pulling faces 15mins ago when I tested it, and nothing happened... 15 mins after it 'should' have arrived the email lands.
So that shall be fine, it's for a midnight cron job and I'll be dammed if I'm leaping out of bed to offer support :P
Thanks for everyones help!
Comment on Re^2: using the Mailer / sendmail perl module...
Sorry, I should have mentioned the delay in delivery. Like you, I use this for late night reporting where delivery time is not as critical as simply reporting the problem.
