Yes, it is (actually, it is only sensible way how to make sending of mails working on dial-up machine without bind etc.), but why not to configure your very own sendmail properly? > If I were only doing SMTP, I'd be doing that (well, really using my own > smtpsend script which does that same job).

I understand that you have problems with configuring underdocumented sendmail (who doesn't have them?), but still I believe that it is better to use it than your own Perl script (twenty years of development makes sendmail probably at least slightly more robust than your own creation). So, take a look at http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/offline_mailing.html, where is very well documented exactly yours configuration of sendmail and take a look at the attached sendmail.mc. What about that? Matej
