The mail command is in the Embperl source, but as far as I see, the problem
is the missing HELO command, so the NET::SMTP constructors fails.

ok, nobody reported problems with this so far, but it's no problem to
include such a configuration variable to explicitly send the HELO command. I
will add this in the next release of Embperl.
Does it work when you explicitly send the HELO command (as you decribed in
your patch:
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new($ENV{'EMBPERL_MAILHOST'} || 'localhost', Debug =>
$ENV{'EMBPERL_MAILDEBUG'}, Hello => 'solbors.no') or die "Cannot connect
to mailhost" ;
)
and set the
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_MAILFROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and _not_ include your second part of the patch (the mail command). As far
as I understand your problem, this should work.
Please let me know if this is ok, so the next release can contains the right
code
