I don't trust Perl for this.  I used to use a simple Perl script, but
then when I ran it on a low memory machine perl kept running out of
memory, and rather than letting me exit(EX_TEMPFAIL) in those cases it
would just die horribly, so the mail got bounced by the MTA back to the
sender.  I just rewrote it in C rather than try to trap those errors in
Perl (which is probably really easy if you know how).
