If I send a mail e.g. from piratepete piratepetesoftware com using Perl, sendmail keeps putting .com on the user.  e.g piratepete com piratepetesoftware com  I cannot figure it out.  Any suggestions as to where or why sendmail is adding .com?

Hi Dave, please set your mailer to wrap text at 72 chars wide.

You will need to add some details about your situation.  For example what
Perl tools are you using?

Perl is a language and many, many people have implemented SMTP, POP or ISP
mail libraries in Perl, Which ones are you using and what calls are you
making?

Are you sure that you are connecting to sendmail?

What version of RedHat are you using?

Are you trying to do a direct connection to the addressee or are you using
smarthost and routing all email through your ISP's SMTP relay?


My first guess without any further info is that you might be making a call
incorrectly, but that would only be a guess.
