Does that server accept SMTP ?
If you try
telnet srmontana 25
do you connect and get a reply something like:
220 srmontana.emc.com MS Exchange ESMTP server ready.
If not you'll have to find another server to relay the mail for you.

Yes.

If the server requires authentication then you cannot use
Mail::Sender. Except if it requires "POP3 before SMTP" or
whatever is it called ... in that case you'd have to connect and log
into the server using Mail::POP3Client or Net::POP3 and then
connect with Mail::Sender.
Maybe you could try either Win32::MAPI or use Win32::OLE to
control Outlook.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
