The sendmail daemon is for incoming mail, outgoing mail does not need the daemon running to work.

Secondly, im not sure what would be wrong with the perl script, im not very perl aware, but, try changeing mailx to mail and see what the results are. Also, if you dont "need" perl for this, you could use simple shell.. cat $BLAH | /usr/bin/mailx -s $subject $destinatarios --- - Shawn L.

When I execute mailx from the command line, it works, and I can send my mail. However, if I try to execute it from a perl script, it doesn't work (it doesn't complain, either). Question 1: Do I need sendmail running? I have tested mailx with and without sendmail running, and it doesn't make a difference. Question 2: what could be wrong with my perl script? It is a very simple open with a pipe, as documented everywhere: $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'; open (CORREO, '|/usr/bin/mailx -vn -s \"$subject\" \"$destinatarios\"') || die "error open pipe: status=$?\n$!\n"; print CORREO $msj || die "error write pipe: status=$?\n$!\n"; close CORREO || die "error en el close: status=$?\n$!\n"; exit 0; Thanks, Leo _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
