shouldn't your smtp parameter have the full hostname? You should also check that your server is accepting smtp connections from the user and machine your are running this script on.
-----Original Message----- From: murphy, daniel (BMC Eng) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 9:51 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Mail::Sender on WinNT - can't connect 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?
