Hi Camilo, Earlier in the program, you were allowed to open the filehandle for reading because Perl doesn't think that *reading* is a security hole. However, *writing* is a different matter. In the above snippet, Perl says that $mailPrefix[0] is tainted and the open is unsafe, so it kills your script. Untaint $mailPrefix[0] and your problem should be solved.
