My knowledge of perl is fairly limited. I'm trying to setup a mailing list for my friend's band. The part that is causing me problems is the actual sending of the mail. I cut out all of the other stuff, so all this script is supposed to do is send an e-mail and return html. Most of the code is just stuff that I have seen in other scripts which is why I am so confused as to why it isn't working. It displays the html, but I never get an e-mail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
