Ahh. You've got them on echo's command line. I've never quite seen it
done that way before...
There are *much* better ways that avoid such limits. Try this:
OPEN(MP, "| $mail_prog") or die ...
print MP "To: $to_name <$to_email>\r\n";
print MP "From: $from_name <$from_email>\r\n";
if ($bcc) {
print MP "Bcc: $bcc \r\n";
}
print MP "Subject: $subject\r\n\r\n";
print MP "$body\r\n";
close(MP) or die ...;
No command line limit, no echo, no lumpy $mail variable. I'd also be
inclined to print a separate Bcc: header for each recipient, but
that's just my "must always scale" mentality.
Hmm. It must be "unix/perl day" on the qmail list.
