I have a simple perl mail program mail.pl (pasted at the end of this mail). In the cygwin environment it is able to send mail out when I run it from the command line.
I also have apache2 running in my cygwin environment. When I run mail.pl as a CGI script it is not able to connect to the the smtp server. The Socket connection is failing (as I noticed after putting some error prints in SMTP.pm). The apache server is running as SYSTEM user. In the command line I run it with user Khemani's permissions. What could be going wrong? Thanks, Prakash #!/usr/bin/perl ## mail.pl print "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"; $mailHost = "10.10.0.91"; $helloHost = "mydesktop.eng.netscaler.com"; $from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; @to = ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $mailHost, Hello => $helloHost ); if ($smtp) { $smtp->mail($from); $smtp->to(@to, { SkipBad => 1 } ); $smtp->data("ABCD"); $smtp->dataend(); if ($smtp->ok()) { print "OK\n"; ## comes here at cmd line } else { print "Not OK\n"; } } else { print "Not Connected\n"; ## comes here as CGI } -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
