Hi all:
I have a typical mail cgi script written in perl and can't figure out
why I don`t get an error when the message is not sent.
My script does the typical:
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -F'$from_name' -
f'$from_mail'") or die "can't open sendmail: $!";
<- etc ->
close MAIL or die "can't close sendmail: $!";
The problem is that it does not die even though the message is not
sent.
I've tried checking $? (child error) but nothing (it is '0').
I have read the sendmail and postfix man pages to no avail.
maybe helpful info in /var/log/mail.log ?
Thank you brian:
By checking /var/log/mail.log (from Console.app) I know that the mail
failed to be sent, but my perl script doesn't catch this, which is my
problem.
