Start with a simple script that just logs to a file or something. Once
that is working as you want then change the script to one that sends the
email.

Won't that just do the same thing? Send multiple e-mails? It would have
been great if someone mentioned that in these "wikis" and "howtos" that
I modeled my config file after that so many e-mails would have been sent
or mentioned how to prevent it from happening! Anyway, I deleted the
e-mail queue from my Postfix server that had about 2000 pending e-mails!
No wonder my external e-mail service blocked me. Now I'll be branded as
a spammer even though the e-mails went to only my account.
