Sorry. It did circulate but I didn't get a chance to look at it earlier. The problem is that your emails are getting smashed together and without the 'perl -V' output that would allow them to be classified against a perl platform and version. Consider this email: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/04/msg3665892.html Search it for "Dear Curtis". You'll note it's repeated. You'll also note that there is no 'perl -V' output. I don't know why this happens. I believe there is a bug in Net::SMTP that doesn't appropriately break up long lines. Depending on the particular mail server involved, I could imagine that this overflows some sort of buffer, as the RFC for SMTP has a line length limit, I think. I have no idea why multiple emails get jammed together -- I don't think that's a client-side issue. I do note that your 'perl -V' output appears to have some sort of unicode character after the '.' at the end of the @INC list. I don't know if that's related, either. What's in your .cpanreporter/config.ini? Ultimately, I'm not sure we have an answer. If you want to explore Net::SMTP and getting it to break up long lines, please see if that helps. -- David
