We now return you to the original problem!
What's that about? Oh, yeah... ;-)
I got the sample that Gunnar posted using Mail::Sender to work after I
played around with cpan and got it installed.
Now I have discovered a new problem. The SMTP server does not respond on
the first try all the time. (I think this is a local problem, but I need
to replace my gateway/firewall server to solve ti.) It returns a message
Cannot send mail: Service not available. Reply:
<snip>
Now the question is, how can I trap that error message from the
Mail::Sender module and repeat as needed?
Try this:
my $sender = Mail::Sender->new( {
smtp => 'smtpout.secureserver.net',
port => '3535',
from => 'w...@mgssub.com',
} );
ref $sender or die
"Object creation failed: $Mail::Sender::Error\n";
for my $try (1..4) {
if ( ref( $sender->MailMsg( {
auth => 'LOGIN',
authid => 't...@mgssub.com',
authpwd => 'mypasswd',
to => 'den...@wicksclan.com',
subject => 'Yet another test!',
msg => $msg,
} ) ) ) {
print "Message was sent.\n";
last;
} else {
warn "Send attempt $try. $sender->{'error_msg'}\n";
$try == 4 ? die 'I give up' : sleep 10;
}
}
