Local user "user" unknown on host "mail.smtpserver.com"
It seems to break on $email. The "user" that the error reports is the value of $email, so why isn't it sending the email?
Offer thank you for your reply, that was helpful!
Here's the code:
######################################
my $sender=Mail::Sender->new;
if ($sender->MailMsg({
smtp => 'mail.smtpserver.com',
from => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
to => "$email",
subject => 'test email',
msg => 'testing email',
auth => 'LOGIN',
authid => 'username',
authpwd => 'password',
}) < 0) {
die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n";
}
print "Mail sent OK."

If indeed you are using a login method (username and password), then replace "NTLM" with LOGIN. So instead of:
> auth => 'NTLM',
Use:
