Hello...: ) I am having issues sending mail from within a perl script on an intel using the cygwin platform; the code is simply not sending email. CYGWIN_NT-5.1 laptop 1.5.23(0.156/4/2) 2006-12-19 10:52 i686 Cygwin snippet... qx(/usr/sbin/ssmtp $user < $log); system("/usr/sbin/ssmtp $user < $log") or warn "email did not send $!"; 'ssmtp $user < $log`; I then tried to just type in the email recipient and file w/out using variables and this did not work. I did verify the log and user variables were being parsed correctly via print "[$user]\t"[$log]"; I have tried using qx, system, ` ` and require calling a file that has the ssmtp command in it to no success. I receive no warnings or errors. I then tried using MIME::Lite and it does not send and no errors or warnings. However, the command alone from my cygwin prompt does send mail after configuring ssmtp via /usr/bin/ssmtp-config. ssmtp [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /cygdrive/c/temp/test.txt Does anyone know what it could be or know of any known issues with this action of having Perl send mail using ssmtp on an cygwin platform? thank you
