Sendmail Error

[MaxGeek]

I'm trying to get a sendmail script to work, but when I run it I get a error message of:
"No recipient addresses found in header"

Heres the code I am using:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;
my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
my $reply_to = "test\@test.com";
my $subject = "Subject: Confirmation of your submission";
my $content = "Thanks for your submission.";

unless ($to) {
print $query->header;
print "Please fill in your email and try again";
}


#
#my $send_to = "To: ".$query->param('send_to');
my $send_to = "To: ". "test\@test";

open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!";
print SENDMAIL $reply_to;
print SENDMAIL $subject;
print SENDMAIL $to;
print SENDMAIL "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print SENDMAIL $content;
close(SENDMAIL);

print $query->header;
print "Confirmation of your submission will be emailed to you.";

----------------------------
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

Have a look at the FAQ on sending mail using sendmail, that should sort you out.

your variable $to is not initialized to anything, also @test....add the pragma <use strict;> to your code to hint you about these things.
