Sending email using perl and sendmail.

A very common task for a cgi script is to be able to inform a set of users with data generated by itself or other programs, cgi's or not. For example, you might be one of the web designers who have joined one of the myriad of free counter programs on the internet that email you with nice statistics and reports about your web pages' traffic. Systems like that are responsible for informing such a large number subscribers that sending the reports manually would require a full-time employee devoted to this task only. Obviously this wouldn't be a sensible option even for a relatively large organization.

The way to automate this task is to let a perl program do those tedious bits of work for you. In this article we will build a perl script which does exactly that. We are going to go step by step giving explanations and analyzing the tricky parts.

Perl, being perl, provides the programmer with more than one ways to do same thing, sending email included. In this script we are going to use sendmail. Sendmail, is an open source program used on most unix computers and some nt workstations as well. Sendmail as its name implies has the ability to send email! We are going to use perl's ability to open pipes to programs to run sendmail and feed it with input. If you are not familiar with sendmail it doesn't really matter though; you should just understand that sendmail is able to send an email, with its headers and content, to your mail gateway which will in turn forward it to its recipient(s).

Here is a very simple program that emails a confirmation to a user that his/her request to subscribe to a newsletter has been accepted:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
use Email::Valid;

my $query    = new CGI;

# it is important to check the validity of the email address
# supplied by the user both to catch genuine (mis-)typing errors
# but also to avoid exploitation by malicious users who could
# pass arbitrary strings to sendmail through the "send_to"
# CGI parameter - including whole email messages
unless (Email::Valid->address($query->param('send_to'))) {
  print $query->header;
  print "You supplied an invalid email address.";
  exit;
}

my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
my $reply_to = "Reply-to: foo\@bar.org\n";
my $subject  = "Subject: Confirmation of your submission\n";
my $content  = "Thanks for your submission.";
my $to       = $query->param('send_to')."\n";
my $file     = "subscribers.txt";

unless ($to) {
  print $query->header;
  print "Please fill in your email and try again";
}

open (FILE, ">>$file") or die "Cannot open $file: $!";
print $to,"\n";
close(FILE); 

my $send_to  = "To: ".$query->param('send_to');

open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!";
print SENDMAIL $reply_to;
print SENDMAIL $subject;
print SENDMAIL $send_to;
print SENDMAIL "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print SENDMAIL $content;
close(SENDMAIL);

print $query->header;
print "Confirmation of your submission will be emailed to you.";

A note about security

Before attempting to explain how the script works here is an important security note: always validate user supplied input. In the case of our CGI mailer the "send_to" parameter comes from a user submitted form and hence could be exploited by a malicious party to pass arbitrary arguments to the sendmail program. To avoid this hazard we utilize the Email::Address module from CPAN to check the conformance of the supplied email address. If the address is invalid - because of a genuine typing error or an exploitation attempt - we return an error message. Otherwise, we proceed with emailing the confirmation using the technique described in the rest of this article.

How the script works

At first glance you can notice that this a relatively small program which if it wasn't that verbose would be even smaller. Looking through it you will also see that it is very simple to understand even for the Perl beginner; however it more than fullfils the task of sending email.

Let's have a look at it line by line... The cgi script takes its input from a web form. This hypothetical form consists one text input field:

<FORM method="POST" action="http://perlfect.com/cgi-perlfect/cgimail.pl">
<INPUT type="text" name="send_to">
<INPUT type="submit">
</FORM>

The script uses the CGI.pm module to parse the form data. If you are not familiar with that module I suggest that you read and learn about it as it will make you life as a scripter a lot happier. The param() function provided by CGI.pm returns the value of a form field given its name as an argument and that's all you need to know for now; hence we use it in our script to find out what the user has entered in the text box. If the user has not entered anything the script returns an error message prompting the user to try again after filling in the appropriate text field.

If the user has entered an email address this is appended to a text file for later use by another program and then the script procedes to return a confirmation email to the user.

An email message consists of some headers and the content. There are many standard headers but the ones you will most commonly encounter and the one we use here are:

To:	A comma separated list of recipient addresses.
From:	The email address of the sender.
Reply-to:	The email address to whic replies should be sent.
Subject:	The subject of the message.
Content-type:	The MIME type of the content.

The headers precede the content of the message. The content type header is written just before the content and is followed by two newline characters.

Sendmail has the ability, as most unix programs, to read from standard input hence all we need to do is a open a pipe to it and provide it with the input we want it to process. You will notice that we have given the -t option to sendmail. This merely tells sendmail to scan the message for a To:, Cc: or Bcc: header and extract the list of recipients from there. Having opened the pipe succesfully we print the message to it. First the headers, each one followed by a newline character, the a newline by itself and finally the content of the message. Finally we close the pipe. The email has been succesfully sent!

Here is a list of useful things you can do by using sendmail and perl:

Inform visitors of your site that have asked, that your site has been updated. The script used as an example here would be a good way to collect the addresses of the people you want to email.
Inform yourself of the way your scripts are running. For example you can write a few lines of code that email you when something goes wrong in a script that you 've written.
Create an online mailing list.

These are only some of the things you can do, but there is one thing you shouldn't do, except if you are really nasty. That is, do not spam people. Never email people that have not asked for the information you are providing as it will probably make them angry and in the future they will ignore any that corespondence from you. Have fun and be polite!

Online Documentation/Tutorials

You might want to have a look at the documentation of the Mail:: modules available at CPAN. There are also many other modules for sending and processing mail there.

Look at the 3rd print to SENDMAIL - it won't have the "To:". And how about foo@bar.org - @bar will try to be resolved. Put a "use strict;" as the 2nd line of code... Add "-w" on the perl binary path, or "use warnings;"

I've been using the MIME::Lite:TT and MIME::Lite::TT::HTML perl modules recently for sending E-mail. I love them, less coding, ability to use templates for your messages. I even wrote a small howto article on the subject, which you can view at: http://www.revsys.com/writings/perl/sending-email-with-perl.html

Can someone help me with a project. I guess first I am just curious if its even possible... Here is the run down. The scope of this project is to create a script that would automate an email response using Outlook 2007 / 2003. This script will produce three automated emails, the senders information is pulled from an excel list that is manually maintained with various information; 3 of which will be constant ... [email address], [first and last name], and [date of the inquisition]. I believe these are the only constants needed for this ... but I could be very wrong. When a prospect inquires about XYZ their [email address], [first and last name], and [date of the inquisition] is acquired and stored in an excel spreadsheet. I would like to develop a script that would run as a scheduled task and perform these things: 1) Send a pre-drafted email 2 days after the inquisition date on the spread sheet. 2) Send a different pre-drafted email 2 weeks after the inquisition date. 3) Send a third pre-drafted email 4 weeks from the inquisition date. The emails would be merged with the information from spreadsheet to attain the first name making it personalized Being that the script would run as a scheduled task everyday. The script would base all calculation of dates on the day the script was run.
Bob Roske	Posted at 11:33pm on Sunday, August 5th, 2007
Use the year plus the Julian date and store two days out, 14 days out and 28 days out in 3 fields. If the computed days are > 365 subtract 365 and increment the year. Read the fields and send the appropriate email based on which field matches.

You should check the return value of close(SENDMAIL). I think it contains the exit status of sendmail.

In the script, the "print" statement that prints $to to FILE appears to be missing the FILE arg, i.e. print FILE $to,"n"; right or wrong?
Borys Marcelo	Posted at 12:37pm on Friday, May 2nd, 2008
Hi, here is a simple version of the script above for those like me that only need to send email without using CGI: my $EMAIL_BODY="MY EMAIL BODY"; my $EMAIL_TO="foo@bar.org"; my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -v"; my $reply_to = "Reply-to: borysmbn"; my $from = "From: borysmbn"; my $SUBJECT_AUX="Subject: Your Subjectn"; my $send_to = "To: ".$EMAIL_TO."n"; open(SENDMAIL, "\|$sendmail") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!"; print SENDMAIL $send_to; print SENDMAIL $from; print SENDMAIL $reply_to; print SENDMAIL $SUBJECT_AUX; print SENDMAIL "Content-type: text/plainnn"; print SENDMAIL $EMAIL_BODY; close(SENDMAIL); awesome tutorial, BTW. A tip is not to forget about the parameters at the beginning of each parameter to send, like in the var $send_to="To: ".$EMAIL_TO."n" we cannot forget about the "To:" at the beginning and about the "n" at the end as you are issuing commands, or you will end up with an error message. Regards
Borys Marcelo	Posted at 12:40pm on Friday, May 2nd, 2008
in the above comment, when you read $send_to="To: ".$EMAIL_TO."n" we cannot forget about the "To:" at the beginning and about the "n" means "n" (new line) instead of "n". I can't edit, I'm posting again, Regards

One remembers that humen's life is very expensive, however some people require money for various stuff and not every man earns big sums cash. Thence to receive some credit loans or just bank loan should be a right solution.

When you are in not good state and have no money to get out from that, you will have to receive the credit loans. Because that will aid you unquestionably. I get student loan every year and feel OK because of this.

Some time before, I really needed to buy a good house for my business but I did not have enough cash and couldn't order something. Thank God my fellow suggested to try to take the credit loans from banks. So, I acted so and was satisfied with my term loan.

If you are willing to buy a car, you will have to get the home loans. Furthermore, my sister commonly takes a auto loan, which supposes to be the most firm.

Thanks Borys Marcelo! Your solution worked great for me, and I think it's more secure than the original one. For anyone using Marcelo's way, keep in mind that lines that end with n+(double quote) must be preceded with a backslash. Result is: (backslash)+n+(double quote)
