I found some obscure notes work, but don't make sense.... Mail::Send says that the method of creating an email body is: $fh=$msg->open; And being based on Mail::Mailer, it will query for Mailx, mail, Mail first for a mail processing application. Failing that, it will move to sendmail...qmail and others. Well, 'mail' exists, but it doesn't work with Mail::Send. I have to use the command: $fh = $msg->open("sendmail"); And use the postfix alias/compatability program called sendmail to get this to work. It's working, but I wish I knew more about why? -- All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
