That's not how I interpreted the question. In my opinion the OP wants a Perl program that a) parses the email address b) look up the MX record for the destination through DNS c) uses the SMTP protocol to exchange the message with the destination mail server (using sockets). Maybe the OP could clarify this? -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
