I've been wanting to send mail from some of my scripts, so I thought I'd see
how to get it to work.
I chose to use Mail::Sender and am running Perl 5.005_03 from ActiveState
build 522 (I know, it's old) on WinNT. When I run this simple test script:
use Mail::Sender;
ref ($sender = new Mail::Sender
{smtp => 'srmontana',
from => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'})
or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n";
ref ($sender->MailMsg({to => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
subject => 'Here is the file',
msg => "I'm sending you the list you wanted."})),
or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n";
------------------
I get,
connect() failed: Unknown error
I'm not sure that this is a Perl question as much as it's a WinNT Exchange
Server, corporate environment and configuration question. This is a large
company and I use an Outlook email client. Looking at the Tools:Services
panel of Outlook, I got 'srmontana' as the name of the Exchange server. I
have also tried various combinations of these lines:
client => 'MURPHY5344A',
from => 'murphy, daniel (BMC Eng)'
.... but, to no avail - I still get the connect() error.
I know the name 'srmontana' is being resolved correctly because I printed
out the smtpaddr and got the correct IP address.
Do things look right?
Is there some type of authentication, (userid, password, etc.) that's taking
place? There must be, right?
TIA,
Dan Murphy
