Perl form wont send mail


Ok, I have always used the following script and it has never let me down.

I just set a server up with a full fresh install of fedora core 2 and I am able to send mail out using Evolution Email which is set to use sendmail as SMTP.

You'll notice that the form can be filled out and submitted without any errors. The problem is I never receive the email

I've gone through the perl script many times and don't see any mistakes. What could I possible of done wrong ?

Check root's mail -- it looks like a notice of the error, which may contain more helpful details, was sent to root.
