I swear I typed: I dosen't send me an e-mail. It's a piece of a script I am working on. Oh and btw what is the message part?
print MAIL "Message: This is the message.";
Is that it?


------------------

oh and $email1 would be like "jerry" and $email2 would be like "domain.com". $name would be like "Jerry" and $cname would be like "Chibi Goku". Its for an rpg for me and my friend.

So it would be (with the varibles defined except $!, duh.):

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t") or die "Can't Fork $!";
print MAIL "To: [email protected]";
print MAIL "From: [email protected]";
print MAIL "Subject: Jerry has registered with Chibi Goku";
close MAIL or die $!;

The body of the message is just printed after the headers. The UBB module mail-lib.pl/sub real_send_mail is an example.

It looks fine to me.

It may not be working because you don't have a line printing the message (also you should have nn before printing the message)

Double check your path to sendmail. Is it not reporting back an error when opening the pipe to sendmail?

Also, sendmail could reject the email if [email protected] is not a valid email address. This is on yor system, so your MX file may need an entry for that email address. Change the from to a valid email address, and you can always put jerry's address in the body of the message or the reply-to area (assuming what you were tying to do was have them fill a form, and you get a confirmation email from the system, with their email addr in the from field)

Those are the quick ones I can think of.

Here is what I use on a script I wrote to send me an email everytime someone gets a server error on my site:


There you have it....
