Hello Octavian,
Yes, it requires an SMTP server, but in this case you would use the SMTP server that you are delivering mail to by contacting it directly, just as "sendmail" would if you were running "sendmail" locally and passed a message to it. Let's say you are sending mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". You could split that string using the "@" symbol, giving you the username and the servername. Figure out what the MX record for "namodn.com" is ( there are many DNS-related perl modules that do this ) and contact the remote SMTP server directly using Net::SMTP. This is equivalent ( in UNIX ) to using "dig" to find a remote SMTP server, and doing "telnet mail.namodn.com 25" and talking SMTP to the remote host. Doesn't require an SMTP server anywhere but on the receiving end.
