Is <a href="http://mx1.stlouisfed.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mx1.stlouisfed.org</a> your mail gateway? Is this configured somewhere or picked up automatically? If configured it might help to trace where this variable is used.<br>

Perl module or system call for sending e-mail? I doubt that something is "messing" with the e-mail address. It is more likely that whatever is sending the e-mail tacks on the @<a href="http://mx1.stlouisfed.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mx1.stlouisfed.org</a> to the address for some strange reason.<br>
