# Purpose: Provides a set of library routines to send email

#
# Main Procedures:
#  real_send_mail - flexible way to send email
#  send_mail - easier to use version of send_mail
#
# Special Notes: Script is UNIX Specific and ties into the
# Sendmail Program which is usually located in /usr/lib or
# /usr/bin.

# Also, remember to escape @ signs with a backslash (\@)
# for compatibility with PERL 5.
#
# Change the $mail_program variable to change location of your
# sendmail program

# $mail_program is the mail program used to send mail
# with the full path.
#
# The -t flag tells sendmail to
# look for To:, From:, Subject: header lines in the
# mail message to determine the addresses to send to.
#
# The -n flag tells sendmail not to use the alias list
# for the UNIX server.  We do not want outsiders using
# the alias list of the webserver in most cases.
#
$mail_program = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -n";
