Hi Joachim,

I have tried various formats but with no predictable result. It seems
the email are flushed once in a while and then I get the email send in
the, lets say, last hour. And I still think some mails are lost. I tried
the old form_mail.cfg subroutine and played a bit with the code, but it
shows the same behaviour as the [email]-tag.

Just speculating. Can it have something to do with IC (always better to
but the blame on someone else)? That the command to sendmail is not
closed correctly. And what is the difference between the call to
sendmail in Util.pm  and the email tag (
open(MVMAIL,"|$Vend::Cfg->{SendMailProgram} $to") versus
open(Vend::MAIL,"|$Vend::Cfg->{'SendMailProgram'} -t") ).

Regards,
Bas
