Send_email question

Paul

Folks I am having a small issue here that I can't figure out.

We have been using send_emaiil.ipl for YEARS with the MAIL::MAILER perl module and the code is:

eval {

use Mail::Mailer;

my $mailer = new Mail::Mailer( 'smtp', Server => $mailserver );
my %headers=();

$headers{'To'} = \@to_emails;
# $headers{'Cc'} = &get_cc_mail($areavpath);
$headers{'From'} = "teamsite.server\@cigna.com";
$headers{'Subject'} = $subject;

$mailer->open(\%headers);
print $mailer $msg;
$mailer->close;
};

we have always used a comma to separate multiple names user1@cigna.com, user2@cigna.com, user3@cigna.com and were sending that to the local SMTP service on the TeamSite machine. The company has now mandated that we don't have local SMTP installs and use the SMTP services on the exchange server. When I send these emails to the Exchange server those with multiple addresses don't send. Single addresses send fine.

I have tried the following combinations with no success:
user1@cigna.com, user2@cigna.com
user1@cigna.com; user2@cigna.com
user1@cigna.com,user2@cigna.com
user1@cigna.com;user2@cigna.com
"user1@cigna.com, user2@cigna.com"
"user1@cigna.com; user2@cigna.com"
"user1@cigna.com,user2@cigna.com"
"user1@cigna.com;user2@cigna.com"
'user1@cigna.com, user2@cigna.com'
'user1@cigna.com; user2@cigna.com'
'user1@cigna.com,user2@cigna.com'
'user1@cigna.com;user2@cigna.com'

Any suggestions? This is currently being used on TeamSite5.5.2 on a WinNT server and will be going to a Win2K3 server with TeamSite6.1 in October

I'm a little confused. You talk about separating email addresses with a comma or a semicolon, but I don't see instances of that in the code. You're setting the 'To' header to be a reference to an array, which is the proper method for sending to multiple users.

Are you referring to the 'Cc' header, which is commented out? If so, can you just break it up into an array, and return a reference to that array in your get_cc_mail() routine?
