Getting perl to email via sendmail/postfix

[Lance F. Squire]

A variation on this should do:


#Send Thankyou letter to User

#The location of sendmail
$sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";

#Subject
$Subject="Thank you for Registering";

# Send the Message
open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!";
  #Headers go here
  #
  print SENDMAIL "From: script\@someplace\n";
  print SENDMAIL "To: $Recipient\n";

  print SENDMAIL "Subject: $Subject\n";
# print SENDMAIL "Content-Type: multipart/mixed\; 
boundary=\"$boundary\"\n\n";
# print SENDMAIL "--$boundary\n";

  #The body of the e-mail goes here
  #
  print SENDMAIL "Content-Type: text/plain;\n\n";
  #print SENDMAIL "Content-Type: text/html;\n\n";

  print SENDMAIL "$Message\n";

  close(SENDMAIL);
