unix and sendmail

[jr7138]

I just upgrade to MacOS X 10.1.5 and the sendmail app of UNIX will not send the following script to said email address client.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Use Pre-Build CGI Routines
# ----------------------------
use CGI;
$q = new CGI;

# Set Initial Variables
# -----------------------
$recipient_email = 'juan.ramirez@txmail.sbc.com';
# $recipient_email = 'tony.colter@sbc.com';
$mail_file = '/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/.mail/' . time();

# Set Form Variables
# --------------------
$date = $q->param('date');
$nominee_name = $q->param('nominee_name');
$team_names = $q->param('team_names');
$title = $q->param('title');
$work_phone = $q->param('work_phone');
$work_address = $q->param('work_address');
$email = $q->param('email');
$sup_name = $q->param('sup_name');
$sup_phone = $q->param('sup_phone');
$gmcc_department = $q->param('gmcc_department');
$gs_department = $q->param('gs_department');
$nominators_name = $q->param('nominators_name');
$nominators_title= $q->param('nominators_title');
$nominators_phone = $q->param('nominators_phone');
$nominators_department = $q->param('nominators_department');
$sup_mgr_app_nomination = $q->param('sup_mgr_app_nomination');
$customer_service = $q->param('customer_service');
$rev_generation = $q->param('rev_generation');
$above_beyond = $q->param('above_beyond');

# Send User To Thank You Page
# -----------------------------
print "Location:

http://gmcc.sbc.com/global_excellence/thankyou.html\n\n";

# Send Email To The Recipient
# -----------------------------
open (MAILFILE,">$mail_file"
print MAILFILE "Nomination form:\n";
print MAILFILE "Date: $date\n";
print MAILFILE "Nominee's Name: $nominee_name\n";
print MAILFILE "Team: $team_names\n";
print MAILFILE "Title: $title\n";
print MAILFILE "Work Phone: $work_phone\n";
print MAILFILE "Work Address: $work_address\n";
print MAILFILE "eMail: $email\n";
print MAILFILE "Supervisor's Name: $sup_name\n";
print MAILFILE "Supervisor's Work Phone: $sup_phone\n";
print MAILFILE "GMCC Department: $gmcc_department\n";
print MAILFILE "Global Solutions Department: $gs_department\n";
print MAILFILE "Nominator's Information:\n";
print MAILFILE "Name: $nominators_name\n";
print MAILFILE "Title: $nominators_title\n";
print MAILFILE "Work Phone: $nominators_phone\n";
print MAILFILE "Department: $nominators_department\n";
print MAILFILE "Supervising Manager Approving Nomination: $sup_mgr_app_nomination\n";
print MAILFILE "\n";
print MAILFILE "Description of Accomplishment:\n";
print MAILFILE "Customer Service: $customer_service\n";
print MAILFILE "Revenue Generation/Process Improvement and/or Cost Savings: $rev_generation\n";
print MAILFILE "Going Above and Beyond: $above_beyond\n";
close MAILFILE;

# print (&quot;mail -s \&quot;Global Excellence Nomination For $nominee_name\&quot; $recipient_email < $mail_file&quot;
system (&quot;mail -s \&quot;Global Excellence Nomination For $nominee_name\&quot; $recipient_email < $mail_file&quot;
system (&quot;rm -fr $mail_file&quot;

exit;




I'm a beginner with UNIX and CGI and need help!

Thanks,
Juan

Are you getting an error? Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.

You have the wrong Directory.. Look it says /ect instead of /etc

It looks like something is actually setup wrong with sendmail. you might want to take a look at your config file.
