Re: [Perl-unix-users] Problems with Net::SMTP

[David Weintraub]

Connecting with it and being able to send mail from it are two different
things. Did you try setting the Hello option to something you know will
work? Did you turn on the Debug option? What does it say?

I was able to send email telnetting to the SMTP daemon, so I know it was doing more than just connecting.

I finally found the error when I realized that SMTP had a Debug parameter. I was going to actually hack through the SMTP module when I saw the reference to the Debug parameter in the code. I rechecked the documentation and realized that the Debug parameter was in fact mentioned in it.

Once I used the Debug parameter, I suddenly realized I had the wrong machine name in the program. Changing the machine name fixed the problem.

So, I know that there is a smtp daemon running on foohost,
and that the machine I am running on can communicate with it.
I would like to try other hosts (like my personal smtp
server), but port 25 is locked out by our company's firewall,
so I can use internal systems.

Is there anything I can try to see where this error might be
coming from?
