Thanks to all who replied.
The actual problem was the execute permissions of perl. Much to my chagrin
they were 700 rather than the 755 that i normally use.
A special thanks to rouilj@cs.umb.edu who got me looking in the right area
with his message.
unknown mailer error 5 - This can be caused by a number of things all
relating to the wrappers inability to execute the perl script.
This can include:
the perl script is not executable
the location of the perl program specified with the #!
line is incorrect
the location where the wrapper looks for the perl
scripts is not the location where the scripts are
located.
The current wrapper doesn't use the standard sendmail error
codes, hence the "unknowm mailer error" annotation in the
error message. A future wrapper version will use the
appropriate errors from sysexits.h.
Again thanks to all.
