Email::Sender is still the right tool to use, and actually works. It probably sends more mail in a day than you ever will*. As for your spurious "working under the target operating system always" claim, Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::TLS has a flawless CPAN testers report card, visible here: http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/E/Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS.html#Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS-0.10 The SYNOPSIS provides all (or very nearly all) the code Thomas needs, with very little tweaking besides configuration. How can it possibly be easier? This "use the old, bad tool because it's what the OP started with" approach leads only to pain and suffering. * having put it into production at a large ESP that handles thousands of per day, I'm pretty sure this is the case. -- Chris Nehren | Coder, Sysadmin, Masochist Shadowcat Systems Ltd. | http://shadowcat.co.uk/
