Sam et al.,
I'm following up on this thread I started a couple of weeks ago, with new
information.
I modified my client's CGI script to dump sendmail's output to a temp
file, so that I was able to examine it next time it fails. It failed
this morning. The message that sendmail is putting to stdout is "511
Headers specify no receipients." (sic).
This does not make sense, because there is most definitely a recipient
being specified (it is hard-coded in the script). The first few relevant
lines of the Perl look like this:
open (MAIL,"|$mailer >/tmp/mei-out-$$") || &CgiError ("Problem with
sendmail: $!");
print MAIL "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
print MAIL "Subject: Website Application: $in{firstname} $in{lastname}
has applied via the web site!\n";
print MAIL "From: $in{email} ($in{firstname} $in{lastname})\n\n";
print MAIL <<EOMAIL;
stuff here... etc.
$mailer is previously declared as courier's sendmail and the other
variables are from the form. I've changed the email address to protect
privacy, but as I've indicated, the script does often work (sends the
mail) without error.
It seems that sendmail is sometimes randomly deciding that there are no
recipients.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is something in submit.C on crack?
