Hello Ronald and all others

You might be correct with the issue of
escape_dangerous_chars but instead of the technic you
showed

>>open (SM, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -f rfg $recipient");

I would use

open(SM, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t") || die
"sendmail";
...
print SM "To: $recipient\n";

I think an attacker may cause less harm with this
approach even if escape_dangerous_chars is buggy.
