[Mimedefang] unable to send email.

[bastard child]

I feel really embarassed right now and was just contemplating
unsubscribing from the list and never showing my face in the perl world
again.. =(  Turns out it was a stupid error on my part.

I had edited mimedefang.pl's "response to sender" section to reflect the
following:

"From: Sys Admin <admin at domain.com>"

and it turns out, i put it in there just like that "admin at domain.com" and
failed to put it in as "admin\@domain.com" .. Therefore it kept crashing
on me.

I'm sorry I wasted both of your time.. =P

Thanks again,

jason
