You are talking about different things... Alex, you may well be passing the address INTO YOUR SCRIPT on the command line. Johan and Bruce are pointing out that _within_ your script you are not passing the address TO SENDMAIL on the command line. # pass to sendmail on commands line open MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t $recip" ... # passing on STDIN open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); print MAIL "To: $recip\n";

Alex, it must not be user\@domain, it must print as user@domain.

You are NOT passing the e-mail address on the command line with sendmail. If you were, your open() line would look more like: open MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t $recip" ... But it doesn't. > IMHO, if the script works fine when I have a hard-coded To: line, and my > $recip comes out a replica of my hard-coded To: line, it doesn't seem to me > to be a Perl problem. Why are you escaping the '@' with: s/\@/\\\@/ ?

I *am* trying to pass the e-mail address from the command line to sendmail. And yes, $recip *is* user\@domain.com -- I printed it to STDOUT, and it showed up just like that. IMHO, if the script works fine when I have a hard-coded To: line, and my $recip comes out a replica of my hard-coded To: line, it doesn't seem to me to be a Perl problem. Alex

Mailing from script
I just wrote a Perl script that gets an e-mail address from the command line and then subs it in as the To: field in mailwrapper output. While the program worked just fine when I manually entered the To: field, it appends @www.schnarff.com to that field when I get it from the command line. The relevant part of the script appears below: $recip = $ARGV[0]; $recip =~ s/\@/\\\@/g; print $recip; open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); print MAIL "To: $recip\n"; print MAIL "From: quoteoftheday\@schnarff.com\n"; print MAIL "Reply-to: alex\@schnarff.com\n"; print MAIL "Subject: Quote for $date\n"; print MAIL $sdata[rand(@sdata)]; close MAIL; $recip, when I printed it to the screen for testing purposes, came out as user\@domain.com, which is exactly what I need. Any idea why the mailwrapper would append my local domain like that? Thanks, Alex Le Fevre
