Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi freinds
I have a small problem I want u to help me in, I have a syslog server and configured it to send me email automatically, I get a small perl script to help me in, and tested it to send alerts to root and it worked successfully without any problems
Now I want to send it outside, I configured my sendmail to use my email server as SMARTHOST , and tested it by sending email like the following and it delevered successfuly
mail -s test reaky@domain.com -- -r reaky@server.com

Now I tried to use my perl script to use to out side reaky@domain.com, but It doesn't work, the perl script using sendmail -t instead of mail, So what I want to do is modifying this script to use the command: mail -s test reaky@domain.com -- -r reaky@server.com when sending the message

the following is the perl script:
=================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -n
# thanks to Brian Dowling for an example with security in mind.

$TO = 'bassam@tedata.net';
$FROM = $TO;

s/^<\d{1,2}>//;

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

print MAIL <<"EOT";
To: $TO
From: $FROM
Subject: SME Log Alert: $_

$_

EOT

close(MAIL);
======================================

Thanks for help

I think we can use something like that
==============
#! /bin/sh
SUBJECT=”SET-EMAIL-SUBJECT”
EMAIL=”mymail@ad.dy”
EMAILMESSAGE=”pathtofile”

echo “This is an email message test” > $EMAILMESSAGE
echo “This is email text” >> $EMAILMESSAGE

/bin/mail -s “$SUBJECT” “$EMAIL”
================
But How to modify EMAILMESSAGE=”pathtofile” , to be input to the script

I would prefer you keep the sendmail program in the script, and instead configure "submit.cf" with your SMARTHOST. You probably configured only "sendmail.cf", but there's very little reason for your server to be handling incoming mail.

I think I know the problem now but I don't know how to solve it
the problem that the sendmail command still using root@localhost.localdomain when sending, Which is rejected
Look to the delevery failier:

How to solve this ?

Do you have a submit.cf? If so, post it (as a txt attachment)

Finally I found the problem
The Local_Domain option in sendmail.mc have to be modified , ad it always try to send using it, I changed it and It works now with the same script
Thanks
