policy of your email provider, see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/58573839 (not a Perl problem)

perhaps they check only part of the username, and you use the wrong TLD (gmx.net/gmx.com/gmx.whatever), or maybe it's not exactly the same address, because of a typo or an invisible-and/or-unicode character

    With powershell i can send a mail. on port 587, using SSL, like so:

    $from = "any@gmx.com"
$to = "rob@gmail.com"
$subj = "test PShell."
$body = "boddy"
$server = "mail.gmx.com"
$port = "587"
Send-MailMessage -From $from -To $to -Subject $subj -body $body -SmtpS
+erver $server -Port $port -UseSsl -Credential (Get-Credential)

      Certainly, and the fact that you're having trouble doing so means there is some difference between the command that works and the one that doesn't, so you'll have to figure out what the differences between the two are. (Consider comparing a successful transaction and an unsuccessful one with Wireshark.)

      Well, that's at least one difference between the code in the root node.

      You might want to give the more modern Email::* modules by RJBS a try, for example see Email::Sender::Manual::QuickStart.
