Re: Sendmail and the extra .com

Sorry, Jeff.  I didn't think about the HTML mail message.  I have been
developing on Windows way too long.  I used to be a "real" C-programmer on
UNIX (what's that? huh?).  Ok, I'll try again.  I am using RedHat 7.0. and I
somehow got to a sendmail.cf file via linuxconf.  I haven't quite figured
the m4 preprocessor out yet.

I am using mod_perl with apache for my web server in my my home.
http://www.piratepetesoftware.com

Here's the Perl that I call as a test.  I want to mail a download client a
text mail with a link to the download file.  I'll CGI get the IP of that
person and the web page asks for their mail and name.

Code ...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#print "Hello";

my $location_of_sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
my $mailingfrom = "webmaster piratepetesoftware com";
my $to = "dlwhitehurst\ comcast net";
my $subject_line = "Test Mail";
my $message = qq{"Hello"};


send_mail($mailingfrom, $to, $subject_line, $message);

sub send_mail {

    my ($from, $to, $subject, $messagebody) = @_;

    my $flags = "-t";

    $mail_program = $location_of_sendmail;

    $mail_program .= " $flags";

    open (MAIL, "|$mail_program") || die "Could Not Open Mail Program: $!";

    print MAIL <<__END_OF_MAIL__;
To: $to
From: $from
#Reply-to: $from
Subject: $subject
X-Mailer: Any Mail 1.0
Content-type: text/plain

$messagebody

__END_OF_MAIL__

    close (MAIL);

} # End of send_mail

# Print out HTML
print <<"END_OF_HTML";

My website is pointed to 68.48.223.222 which is my Comcast identifying IP.
My wireless router forwards 80, 21, 23, 110 ports to this linux (my server).
I am using piratepetesoftware.com as the domain in the sendmail.cf and I
list 127.0.0.1, 68.48.223.222, and 192.168.1.100 in my /etc/hosts  I can
send mail to my comcast mailbox dlwhitehurst comcast net but the header
lists piratepete com piratepetsoftware com as the sendee.  Deep in the mail
I know that the real reply is to apache piratepetesoftware com  (I see this
in the header).  I'm stumped why the dot-com is getting stuck on any user I
put in the Perl code above.  Also, if I use ELM and send a message from the
piratepete account on the linux box to my outlook (dlwhitehurst comcast net)
I get piratepete thevirtualdomain correctly. (No dot-com after the
piratepete.

???? Thanks for any reply

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?
