Hello,
I currently have a script written in PERL which contains the lines:
$mailprog = "/usr/lib/sendmail";
open(MAIL, "|$mailprog -t");
print MAIL "To: $email\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
#print MAIL "Cc: $boss\n";
print MAIL "Subject:$subject\n";
print MAIL "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text\/html\; charset\=us-ascii\;
name=\"newsl.html\"\n
";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
The script sends the mail out OK but ends up being returned with the
following error message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ketel-1.raremedium.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ketel-1.raremedium.com>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
and
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ketel-1.raremedium.com
For some reason qmail is appending the the sending machines's domain name
onto the original recipient, even though I am calling sendmail directly. I
am confused by this. I notice that under /usr/local/var/qmail/bin there is
an executable called sendmail. If I want to open up a handle for my PERL
script should I be using $mailprog = "/usr/local/var/qmail/bin/sendmail"
????? Or is there a way to open up a file handle to qmail directly from my
script and then just print to that file handle. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
It seems that although qmail is installed if I tried to call the sendmail
program, Qmail seems to intercept it somehow. At least that is what I am
guessing as to why when the $email variable in my script contains
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it results in being parsed and having
@ketel-1.raremedium.com
appended to it. Anyway thanks in advance.
