This works:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SMTP;
my $mailhost = "jim.bob.com";
my $mailobj = "";
if($mailobj = Net::SMTP->new($mailhost, Timeout=>10, Debug=>1)){
print("Connected to $mailhost\n");
} else {
print("Could not connect to $mailhost\n");
die;
}
my $username = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
my $password = "abcd123";
$mailobj->auth($username,$password);
my $Rx1 = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@jim.com";
my $Rx2 = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
my $from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
print("The recipients are $Rx1 and $Rx2\n");
$mailobj->mail($from);
$mailobj->recipient($Rx1, $Rx2,{SkipBad=>1});
if($mailobj->data()){
$mailobj->datasend("To:$Rx1\r\n");
$mailobj->datasend("cc:$Rx2\r\n");
$mailobj->datasend("Subject: Email from Perl script using
bob.com with authentication\r\n");
$mailobj->datasend("This is a test message...from Perl using
bob.com!\n :)\nJim\n");
print("Data sent successfully \n");
} else {
print("Send failed\n");
}
$mailobj->quit;
#This worked, with subject, to and cc fields.
#make sure the Auth::SASL module in installed.
