Happy to help! % % But as I can see this approach won't catch the problem % if the incorrect email was specified.... ? Hrmmm... You mean if $mailAddress was incorrectly provided? No, it won't. If mailx exited successfully then that's what you'll get, even if the user provided "joeb" instead of "joeblow" and thus generates a bounce. If you want to know how to detect the latter, I suspect that it either gets really messy, with you setting your Reply-To: or other bounce headers to direct to another invocation of your script, or that you'll need to do the whole mail transaction yourself with some Mail module -- and that *still* won't take care of all errors since you might hand off to an interim server who happily accepts it and later bounces it because of a quota problem or a downed host or whatever. You can only make something just so foolproof before the fools get better again ;-) % % Thank you!
