The above is my sub, for sending membership email to the admin of the my site, and the member who has signed up, the problem I have is that it won't send to a .co.uk email address, can you see what I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It is more likely that the problem is in the mail system on the server than in your code.

If you can login on the server, try to send some mails from there to various addresses to see what happens.

On a sidenote, usually it is better to connect to an SMTP server and deliver the mail that way. It awoids forking a separate process to do it, so it will take fewer resources on the server. Net::SMPT is quite easy to use.

The problem is that my webhost doesn;t provide me with an SMTP server, so I would have to use sendmail wouldn't I?

It always works for a .com address :(
