Re^2: Sendmail Problem

[spacebar]

Try it like this to see sendmail messages and contents of variables:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
# The following accepts the data from the form and splits it into
# its component parts
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST') {
  read( STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} );
  @pairs  =  split( /&/, $buffer );
  foreach $pair ( @pairs ) {
    ( $name, $value )  =  split( /=/, $pair );
    $value  =~  tr/+/ /;
    $value  =~  s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
    $FORM{$name} = $value;
  }
  $child_pid = open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v"); # use -v
  if ( not defined( $child_pid  ) ) {
    print "**Error: Could not open pipe to sendmail.\n";
  }
  $sendto  =  "mail\@qtscreen.com";
  print MAIL "To: $sendto\n";
  print "To: $sendto\n";
  # Don't forget to escape this @ symbol!
  print MAIL "From: $FORM{Customer}\n";
  print "From: $FORM{Customer}\n";
  print MAIL "Reply To: $FORM{E-Mail}\n";
  print "Reply To: $FORM{E-Mail}\n";
  print MAIL "Phone: $FORM{Phone}\n";
  print "Phone: $FORM{Phone}\n";
  print MAIL "Subject: Web Submitted Order from $FORM{Contact} \n\n";
  print "Subject: Web Submitted Order from $FORM{Contact} \n\n";
  print MAIL "Printing Information: $FORM{OrderInfo}\n";
  print "Printing Information: $FORM{OrderInfo}\n";
  print MAIL "Print Location: $FORM{printloc}\n";
  print "Print Location: $FORM{printloc}\n";
  print MAIL "Follow Up Info: $FORM{Followup}\n";
  print "Follow Up Info: $FORM{Followup}\n";
  unless (close MAIL) {
    print "**Error: Could not close pipe to sendmail.\n";
  }
}

$child_pid = open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v"); # use -v

That just ain't gonna work son....

You need to specify recipient addresses on the command line or add the "-t" option.

As stated before, you can save yourself a lot of problems by not reinventing the wheel and using the likes of Mail::Send, MIME::Lite and friends. Using CGI to parse your incoming form is a good ideas as well. You're already using CGI::Carp and CGI is part of the core Perl distro.
