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 upgrad= e.
