Sorry, but I havea strict policy against attachments from people I don't
know.  [Well, even from people I do know].

Anyway, I don't know exactly what the error message is in the images, but
I would suggest changing the open() call to write out to a file, and then
trying the call to sendmail by hand:

	cat msgfile | sendmail -t

(where 'msgfile' is whatever name you write it out to).

This will ensure that you get whatever error sendmail's trying to throw.
[There may be some bad address matching call, etc, that's corrupting the
address before writing to sendmail, or any one of a number of problems
which could cause sendmail to crap out]
