I 'm curious.
How does the above give you more refined control of the "From " line? I have
not used Mail::Internet module before so I 'm not familiar with how it works.
Your perl command seems ot just be a wrapper around the mail command. I 'm
sure there 's more to it than that. Does the Mail::Internet mod itself know
how to grab your real name from /etc/passwd ?
That would be very helpful.
In the past I have just used sendmail in my script to have better control of
the headers. Does the perl module have similar control ?
Looks like when I have time I should check out the Mail::Internet
documentation eh?
