An alternative to the recursion and readdir's and grep's is File::Find::Rule (and you could probably do it in one statement, too, but i left it in the same general form as OP):

use File::Find::Rule;
my @dirs = ( $base_dir, File::Find::Rule->file()->directory()->name('*
+.sbd')->in( $base_dir ) );
foreach my $dir ( @dirs ){
  # do your $temp_dir munging here
  ...
  my @files = File::Find::Rule->file()->maxdepth(1)->not( File::Find::
+Rule->name('.*', '*.html', '*.sbd', '*.msf', '*.dat') )->in( $dir );
  foreach my $mail_file ( @files ){
    # do your $mail_file stuff here
    ...    
  }
}
