Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I've got with, I assume, sendmail.
I've copied part of a script below. If I use the first To: line (which takes the e-mail address from a file - and this works) then a mail doesn't arrive. If, however, I used the second To: line (which is currently commented out - the xxxxxx is to stop spammers picking the address up from this mail) then a mail is received. I added a page after the sendmail just to make sure it was reading the e-mail address from the file (which it was) but it still doesn't seem to send. $manageremail is the correct variable name. In the datafile, I've had the e-mail addresses formatted properly (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) but also tried with \'s at appropriate places (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I just can't get anything to work. Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong. Thanks in advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- open(MAIL, "|/usr/local/bin/sendmail -t"); print MAIL "To: $manageremail\n"; # print MAIL "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; print MAIL "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; print MAIL "Subject: Escalation logged\n"; print MAIL "Hi $manager\.\n\n"; print MAIL "The following escalation has been logged from your team.\n\n"; print MAIL "Agent's Manager : $manager\n"; print MAIL "Agent's Name : $agentname\n"; print MAIL "Date Logged : $day\-$month\-$year\n"; print MAIL "Escalation Reason : $reason\n"; print MAIL "Short Description : $short\n"; print MAIL "Long Description : $long\n"; print MAIL "Justified? : $justified\n"; print MAIL "Name of Logger : $logger\n"; close (MAIL); ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- -- Dale -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
