Perl: Sendmail - Permission denied
Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple mail handler perl script for a website I'm working on. I've managed to installed sendmail yesterday, and I'm currently trying to get the script to work. I'm getting an error however.

Here's the block of perl code I'm using:

Code:
open(MAIL, "| $sendmailpath -t") || print "Error Opening mail: $!";
print MAIL "To: my\@e-mail.com";
print MAIL "Reply: $sender_mail";
print MAIL "Subject: $sender_subj";
print MAIL "\n";
print MAIL "$sender_msg";
close MAIL || print "Error Closing mail: $!";

The error I'm getting is "Error Opening Mail: Permission Denied". I'm not trying to run a mailserver or anything, I just want to send email from a webpage.

I'm assuming it's a user/group/permission problem, since the sendmail program is being run by the webscript. However, this is my first time working with sendmail, and I have no idea what the correct settings should be.

NAME

       claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin -- vCalendar plugin for Claws Mail

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       Allows  displaying vCalendar messages in a similar way other well-known mailers do. Only the meeting subset of the vCalendar format is cur-
       rently supported.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button  and
       select the plugin file, named vcalendar.so, and press the ``Open'' button.

       claws-mail (1), claws-mail-extra-plugins (1).
