Code:
sub mail_report {
   $Mailer = '/usr/sbin/sendmail joe@somewhere.net';
   open MAIL,"|$Mailer";
   print MAIL "Subject: $X connection attempt \n\n";#two newlines after subject
   open(MESSAGE, "<", "$outdir$X") or die "$!";
   print MAIL <MESSAGE>;
   close MESSAGE;
   close MAIL;
} #End sub mail_report

some mails servers and mail clients will reject emails with no "from" header
