I'm just trying to send mail from a programming script NOT a real client. For example, a monitor script calculating the disk storage and sending a report/alert via the perl program.
I really don't want to add more library or module than necessary. So if you guys can detect something wrong with this code let me know? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $mailprog = '/bin/mail'; my $tomail = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; my $inquirer = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; #EMAIL open (MAIL, "|$mailprog") || die "Can't open mailprog.\n"; print MAIL "To: $tomail\n"; print MAIL "Reply-To: $inquirer\n"; print MAIL "From: $inquirer\n"; print MAIL "Subject: Inquiry Response Request\n\n"; print MAIL <<"PrintTag"; Please respond to the following inquiry: blah blah blah, message here PrintTag close(MAIL); -rkl > Perhaps you can use sqwebmail. It supports vpopmail authentication but > requires Maildir format mailboxes. Maildirs were introduced with qmail > and have reliability advantages over the usual Mailbox files.
