Sendmail... It does not quite work that way... Here is a snippet of
code from something:
---------------------------------------------------------
$sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -t -n";
open(SENDMAIL,"| $sendmail")|| die("\n CAN NOT OPEN MAIL \n\n");
print SENDMAIL "To: ",$to,"\n";
print SENDMAIL "Subject: ",$subj,"\n";
print SENDMAIL "X-Remote-Hos: ".$ENV{"REMOTE_ADDR"}."\n\n";
---------------------------------------------------------
The first statement sets up the sendmail command. Where Sendmail will
reside depends upon the installation. If that is wrong, nothing will
work.
Next, we open what amounts to a pipe to sendmail, and print to it.
Note the bar in the OPEN, establishing a pipe; and the double carriage
return after the last line -- that denotes the headers are complete. At
minimum, you need a "To: ", though other information like a subject do
help.
_IF_ you have sendmail where you point to it, THEN it should work, if
not, you get a puddle of bytes all over the floor.
