Hello,

nope this is not correct..
actually you have to write something like this:

$MailProgram = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t';
open MAIL,"|$MailProgram";
print MAIL <<TO_END;
To: $To
From: $From
Subject: $Subject
Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset="US-ASCII"


$Message

TO_END
close MAIL;

pay attention to $MailProgram - this variable contain path to sendmail program under linux - you must know or ask hosting provider for it's original location - without it the whole thing will not work. $To variable will contain the user e-mail to whom this mail is. $From - from who e-mail is, $Subject - the subject of message.. also pay attention to Charset - if you need different encoding - you must specify it here. $Message - contain the whole message.

thats it, hope this will help you
