I think what we want to do is to add a control that replaces ....
open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail $sendmailparam -t -i")
with....
open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail $sendmailparam $testermail ")

By getting rid of the -t option to sendmail, ALL mail will actually be 
sent to the tester but the headers inside the message will indicate 
exactly who would have gottent them mail had it not been redirected.   
This lets a copy of I live site be used for testing email notifications 
without confusing the users.
