Does anybody have any sample code for sending mail from a Perl script on Windows, through an SMTP server that requires SMTP authentication?
I have a script where I wrote the logic in fifteen minutes and then have spent about three hours trying to look up a way for Perl to simply send the email. I found the Mail::Mailer module but its documentation page says it specifically doesn't support SMTP authentication. I found the Net::SMTP_auth module searching PPM modules for "SMTP", but the sample code given in the documentation:
$smtp->auth('CRAM-MD5', 'user', 'password');
only shows how set the authentication method to "CRAM-MD5". It doesn't list any other valid values that are accepted for the authentication method. It does say that I can use this code:
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mail.speakeasy.net'); print $smtp->auth_types();
to find out what authentication types are supported by mail.speakeasy.net; when I do that, the only value returned is "LOGINPLAIN", and if I try this code:
$smtp->auth('LOGINPLAIN', 'user', 'password');
I get the error:
No SASL mechanism found at C:/Perl/site/lib/Authen/SASL.pm line 62
which I assume is the generic error meaning the Net::SMTP_auth module doesn't support that authentication type, since it's the same error I get if I try using a junk authentication type e.g.
$smtp->auth('FOOBAR', 'user', 'password');
