I am a newbie so please be patient... I am trying to send a mass email, but have been unsuccessful. The problem is with the way I have my variable $email setup. If I have $sender->to('myemail@somewhere.com' , 'hisemail@somewhere.com') it works. The Email.txt file is just a list of emails, one on each line. Thanks for any help
open(EMAIL, "email.txt"); while(<EMAIL>){ chomp; my $val= $_; push(@email, "'$val'");} close(EMAIL); my $email = join ",", @email; my %mail; open(MSG, "message.txt"); while (<MSG>){ if ($_ =~ /^subject:(.*)/){ $mail{'subject'} = $1;} else{ $mail{'msg'} .= $_;}} my $sender = Net::SMTP->new ('mailhost', Debug=> 1); $sender->mail('anywhere@home.com'); $sender->to($email); $sender->data(); $sender->datasend ("From: Home\n"); $sender->datasend ("Subject: $mail{'subject'}\n\n"); $sender->datasend ("\n"); $sender->datasend ("$mail{'msg'}"); $sender->dataend(); $sender->quit();
