Hi Sherm,
Yes, I saw that (although I didn't try it), but mail can't be sent
unless I authenticate it with my userid and password. I read something
about being able to do that with NET::SMTP. Perhaps having MIME::Lite
prepare the message, and haveing NET::SMTP sending it. But again, I'm
at a loss of how to do that. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Just a quick question. I've been using MIME::Lite to send emails from
my home computer as I am running a server there. But I recently
switched to DSL with SBC/Yahoo and they are blocking port 25. My mail
suddenly stopped going through. I've opted out of that, thinking that
was the problem, as they give you the option, but that didn't seem to
help. No mail is being sent from my cgi script. So I am wondering if
there is a way to send authenticated mail with MIME::Lite. I've read
the examples and docs regarding MIME::Lite and sending authenticated
mail, but can't seem to make heads or tails about it. Does any one
have an idea of how to do that? Any help would be appreciated.
Here's an example, taken from the MIME::Lite docs:
### Do something like this in your 'main':
if ($I_DONT_HAVE_SENDMAIL) {
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "smtp.myisp.net", Timeout=>60);
}
### Now this will do the right thing:
$msg->send; ### will now use Net::SMTP as shown above
If that doesn't work for you, one possible cause is that your ISP may
be restricting outgoing email based on the "From:" header, to help cut
down on spoofing. The ISPs that do this tend to allow you to opt out,
because there are lots of valid reasons why you might want to use a
different return address.
