[Vit]

Hi all,

I'm trying to debug my file.... it works (no error in the browser!!!),
but it is not doing what I'd like to...

#!/usr/bin/perl

&send_email;

sub send_email
{
$to = "vit\@domain.com";
open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail");

print MAIL "From: bob\@domain.com\n";
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Web Enqiry\n\n";

close (MAIL);
}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World2"

it doesn't give me an error, but I dont receive any mail....

any suggestion???

thanks

Vit

See my answer to your earlier copy of this question in a different thread.

open(MAIL, '|-', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi') or die;

1) Use of three params open is recommended.
2) You have missed important sendmail's command line parameters
-t - get recipient addresses from the message
-oi - "single do line" is not "end of message"

If the filehandle is connected to a pipe, it is a Really Good Idea
to check the return value from close() too:

close(MAIL) or die "sendmail failed";
