[MacPerl-WebCGI] email from cgi script

[Carsten Milling <milling@zedat.fu-berlin.de>]

Hi,
I'm new to the list and relatively unexperienced with perl modules.

I'm working on a cgi script that sends an email message to the address a
user entered via  a HTML form.  I'm looking for a solution that informs me
whether sending succeeded or failed (and if so why), so that I can decide
what to tell the user about what happened with his request.  I know that
it's almost impossible to be absolutely sure about that. But I hope that
some reliable feedback on major errors (misspelled address, unknown domain
etc.) is what I can expect.

I tried to do this job with UNIX's sendmail transport agent, but I couldn't
figure out how to get informed about the sending status. Other ways I could
imagine are using Net::SMTP from the Perl lib or Mail::Sendmail from CPAN.
As already mentioned I'm not really familiar with using modules yet.
So any suggestions for a solution of my problem (including references to
more detailed information available online) would be highly appreciated.
