Are you running sendmail on your own machine? I mean on the same machine
that is running the Perl script? I do that all the time, and it works
flawlessly... plus, I'm in control. I suppose that would be the easiest
way to do it. Then, your own sendmail daemon checks the MX records for
whichever domain you're sending the messages to and it connects directly
to that mail server instead of your ISP's mail server.
That should work fine, or at least it does for me.
