Hi Joel,

What happens when you run the script from the command line or in -w
mode?

Just off the top of my head, you need to escape the @ in joel at cts.com so
Perl doesn't think you're referencing an array, and you should check if
your open statement actually works, like thus:
 
open (SENDMAIL,"|/USER/LIB/sendmail -oi -t -odg") or die "yipes!";

It looks like the path might be invalid (what OS is this under?) so
check if /USER/LIB/sendmail actually exists.

I'm not even looking at the sendmail parameters. Check those if all else
fails.
