Well, as I said, you should get a copy. A theory would be that you use
sendmail for email notifications, while your web host has configured
sendmail to not send bcc copies.

I used an email address for the sites's registration, that is different than 
the ringmasters email address, so I could see both emails being sent by the 
program.

When I submit a site, the program sends the ringmaster an email telling me the 
site was submitted.  It also sends the person who submitted the site an email 
too.  This is the normal way a person would submit a site( I don't use the 
delete button )  

If I submit a site, then delete the site, (with the delete site button), 
within a few minutes, the program sends an email to the site's email address 
and the only email that is sent is one to tell the ringmaster that "the site 
was deleted".

Does this help you to understand what's happening ?

I'm now using a form to mail, for the new sites to fill out. ... I 
then check the sites submitted to see if they are real ones and if
can belong to my ring.  I then add the info to the ring system myself
and then program sents them an email with info to join the ring.

The only info you need to be able to check a site is the URL. When you
are satisfied, you could just send them a message with the URL to
newsite.pl.

--->  By using the form mail, the person submitting the info, does not get my 
email address to spam me and I can check their site.  

After some thought and a lot more work on my part, I agree with you, that I 
check thier site I can just send the link to the newsite.pl, so they can add 
their info themselves, saving me more work, then the program can send them 

everything as it should.

thanks,
