simple sendmail problem

Hi all,
Please help me with this program. i'm not able to send mail to the
sample id 'deepak.battu@yahoo.co.in'.
============================================================ =====
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub sendEmail
{
my ($to, $from, $subject, $message) = @_;
my $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t");
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
print MAIL "$message\n";
close(MAIL);
}
sendEmail("deepak.battu\@yahoo.co.in", "ramakrishnadeepak\@gmail.com",
"Simple email.", "This is a test of the email function.");
============================================================ =======


The log file shows me like this:

Jan 20 20:44:33 localhost sendmail[10854]: m0KFEJdM010854:
to=deepak.battu@yahoo.co.in, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:14,
xdelay=00:00:14, mailer=relay, pri=30125, relay=[127.0.0.1]
[127.0.0.1], dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error


Is that, we cant transfer a mail from localhost domain?

Try the shell script below to find out if its your perl script fault or
consequences of you local sendmail configuration (e.g. antispam add-ons).
The script invokes sendmail in verbose mode.

#!/bin/sh
TO='deepak.battu@example.com'
FROM='ramakrishnadeepak@example.net'

/usr/lib/sendmail -v -oi -- $TO < From: $from
To: $to
Subject: test message

Email test

Oops: $FROM and $from are not the same variable. The above should be:

From: $FROM
To: $TO

Your local sendmail daemon does not like localhost.localdomain as
envelope sender name (the domain has been added "automagically" by
sending sendmail)

Fixes:
* system wide
a) make "hostname --fqdn" report something different
[OS/vendor specific in "can survive reboot" version]
b) http://www.sendmail.org/m4/whoami.html
[do not forget that sendmail-8.12+ uses sendmail.cf and submit.cf ]
* for one user
specify envelope sender address via -f switch

../sendmail -oi -f$FROM -- $TO <

Was I surprised that $FROM and $from are not equivalent? - No.

I was just trying to be polite. Did it work?

Do not ask *me* [if your politeness worked] :-)
