I've seen this happen when perl was upgraded on a couple of servers I have some web sites on (happened to be redhat so I don't think bsd is part of the issue), formmail stopped sending mails but otherwise didn't come up with any complaints when run. To solve it I updated formmail but I never got an answer to what causes the problem when earlier versions are run with newer perl. The ISP who owns the servers told me to upgrade formmail when they noticed the old versions stopped working when they did the perl upgrade.
