sending user id to send_mail, not mapping

I am sending an email using iwsend_mail.ipl, and in one part of my workflow, need to send a confirmation email to the user that created the job. this is stored in variable $uContributor, and the following is the email external task code:

<externaltask lock = "f" name = "Email_Contributor" owner = "__INSERT__($uIWADmin);" retry = "t" start = "f" description = "Your Content Has Been Submitted">
<areavpath v = "/default/main/Med_Policies/WORKAREA/Policies"/>
<successors>
<successorset description = "End Task">
<succ v = "EndTask"/>
</successorset>
</successors>
<command v = "/usr/iw-home/bin/iwsend_mail.ipl"/>

<variables>
<variable key = "mail_to" value = "$uContributor"/>
<variable key = "mail_from" value = "iwadmin@domain.com"/>
<variable key = "mail_subject" value = "Teamsite Notification - DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE"/>
<variable key = "mail_message" value = "Your Content has been submitted."/>
<variable key = "mail_url" value = "1"/>
<variable key = "mail_html" value = "1"/>
</variables>
</externaltask>

Any Ideas?

And my iw.cfg file is set to use email map, with the correct path.

I *think* that because you're using a variable, you gotta refer to it like so...
<variable key = "mail_to" value = "__INSERT__($uContributor);"/>
...hope that helps!

I was actually using the insert command there also, and it still wasn't working. I am going back to double check the config...

I beleive if I pass it a teamsite user id, sendmail goes to the email_map.cfg file, correct?

ok, I got it, I put the insert back in, I had to variables with the same name in the code, so that was mucking it all up. and for some reason, it doesn't like the group of id's that I set up in email_map. maybe a case sensitive thing?
