Sending mail via godaddy

DanEllison has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a site hosted by GoDaddy with e-mail accounts. I'm trying to send out an e-mail using Perl from my desktop, not from my host, and the outgoing e-mail appears to be sending, but is never received at the destination.

I should think if Outlook can do it, I should be able to do it.

Following is the code I am using with the debugging output following that.

#! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use Net::SMTP::SSL; my $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new('smtpout.secureserver.net', Port => 465 +, Hello => 'mydomain.org', Debug => 1) or die $!; defined($smtp->auth('me@mydomain.org', 'xxxxxxxx')) or die $!; $smtp->mail('me@mydomain.org') or die $!; $smtp->to('them@theirdomain.com') or die $!; $smtp->data or die $!; $smtp->datasend("From: me\@mydomain.org") or die $!; $smtp->datasend("To: them\@theirdomain.com") or die $!; $smtp->datasend("Subject: This is a test") or die $!; $smtp->datasend("\n") or die $!; $smtp->datasend("This is test #1.\n") or die $!; $smtp->dataend or die $!; $smtp->quit or die $!; exit;

    I just love how this site works. I screw with this thing for two days, post my question, and then solve it myself five minutes later.

    I changed the target address to another account I had and found my e-mails in the spam folder. Apparently the previous target account wasn't going to let me know I was getting junk mail.

    Anyway, I found the To: From: and Subject: all on the same line, so putting newline characters (\n) at the end of each datasend call fixed the problem.

      I am just starting to migrate our perl stuff to Go Daddy. Could you share a small "Hello World" type amount of code showing how you have Net::SMTP running on Go Daddy? It would save me a lot of trial and error I think. Thanks! Steve
