Actually, you can do it just as you described. Just pass an array to the "to" method... `my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($srv); $smtp->mail('root@localhost'); $smtp->to(@emails); $smtp->data(); $smtp->datasend("Your data goes here.\n"); ....` [download] Hope this helps.. Rich	[reply] [d/l]

For that, you're going to want to use MIME::Lite.. All the info you're looking for is at that link. Hope this helps.. Rich	[reply]

Checkout Mail::Bulkmail which will help you out to do this. Update: I need to keep up with the previous posts on this subject. Rich's method is the way to go if you're already using Net::SMTP for smaller numbers of e-mail recipients.	[reply]

Sending your newsletter to everyone at once on a bcc: line instead of a to: line is also a possibility. One connection, one email, no fuss. Gary Blackburn Trained Killer	[reply]
