Hi,

I'm using Perl (with Taint check) + sendmail for sending email in a CGI script. Part of the script looks like below:

open (SENDMAIL, '|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t') or die "Cannot fork to s
+endmail: $!";
print SENDMAIL <<"EOF";
From:<$email>
To:<$email2>
Errors-To:<$email>
Subject: $subject

$body
          
EOF
close (SENDMAIL);

That works fine for sending emails to valid/working email address.

However when sending to bogus email addresses, I cannot receive any indication (i.e. no email bounced back to $email telling me that the email was undeliverable).

If I use this instead:

open (SENDMAIL, '|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -OUseErrorsTo=true')

Perl complaints with this error message (without sending emails to both valid/invalid email address):

Can't create transcript file ./xff5DLdxv22364: Permission denied
[download]

Any idea about how to use Perl + sendmail to handle bogus email address?? Having the original email bounced back to the $email is my goal

P.S. I'm writing that Perl CGI script for an Apache server on Red Hat Linux 7.0 with Sendmail 8.11. (I DON'T have root access on this server)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks ahead!
