&html_validate_email (%{$links{$id}})

It always worked well, but now the validation function wont work! The problem is the mail-function. If I put it off, it works - otherwise I get a no data error of netscape.

If I comment &html_validate_email (%{$links{$id}}) out everything works well, so it is the mailfunction. ONLY mailer.pm works correct, because other mails keep on coming!

Code:
    if ($db_email_add) { 
        ID: foreach $id (keys %validate_list) { 
            if ($validate_list{$id}) { next ID; } 
            elsif (${$links{$id}}{'Contact Email'} =~ /(@.*@)|(\.\.)|(@\.)|(\.@)|(^\.)/ &#0124; &#0124; 
                ${$links{$id}}{'Contact Email'} !~ /^.+\@(\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/) { 
                    $errstr .= ($errstr, "<li>Email Error: <strong>$id</strong>. Record validated, but couldn't send auto email. Reason: Bad Email addres: '${$links{$id}}{'Contact Email'}'."); 
            } 
            else { &html_validate_email (%{$links{$id}}); } 
        } 
    }

I see you're trying to validate a file.

Is the file being validated but the email is not being send? Then there's s problem with Mailer.pm

How it exactly works I don't know, that's why i stopped using it! Now I use!

Code:
# Then mail it away! 
    open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); 
    print MAIL "To: $to\n"; 
    print MAIL "From: $from\n"; 
    print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n"; 
    print MAIL "\n"; 
    print MAIL $msg; 
    close(MAIL);

BUT If someone has a better sullution, please post it here!

DS, Now you mention it: I have the feeling Mailer.pm can handle large mails, so I hope you idee will help me out!

I'll implement it tonight. Thanks.
