I've had issues with doing things this way in the past. From my experience with the above code, if there is a fault, the message will not be sent, nor will it be queued to be sent later. Depending on the situation, not having the program follow proper SMTP protocol could be a problem if a message is not delivered, and there is no trace of it in any queue. Perhaps someone here can verify that there is a workaround, but I would highly recommend at least handing off the message so that a proper MTA can take care of any network-type issues for you, even if the MTA is on the localhost. My past experience was with receipts... clients would, from time to time, not receive receipts from a Perl-based receipt mailer. I guess, if anything, instead of a file handle directly to MAIL (per above), one could write to file, then mail it, but there are certainly better ways to interact directly to a proper MTA.
