Re^2: Sending Email On Windows

my $smtp = Net::SMTPS->new('outlook.com', Port => 587,  doSSL => 'star
+ttls', SSL_version=>'TLSv1');
[download]

This isn't working for me. The error I get is:

SSL connect attempt failed because of handshake problems
[download]

My smtp server is supposed to be using TLS 1.2, so I'm using:

my $smtp = Net::SMTPS->new('outlook.com', Port => 587,  doSSL => 'star
+ttls', SSL_version=>'TLSv1_2');
[download]

but this causes $smtp to be undefined.

The value of the `doSSL` key, in the post to which you replied, was `'starttls'`. When you viewed this it wrapped, leaving one line ending with `'star`, and the next line starting with a + (probably red unless you've changed your settings) to indicate wrapping, which was followed by the remainder of the value, i.e. `ttls'`. As you have this in two code blocks, it does not appear to be a one-off typo. In both cases, you should have: `... doSSL => 'starttls', ...` [download] You should not have: `... doSSL => 'star +ttls', ...` [download] I cannot comment on the validity of the parameters to `Net::SMTPS->new(...)`; however, blindly copying that + is definitely wrong.

Ken's comments are correct. The plus sign for line continuation is not part of the original line. Regarding the particulars of your email server, I had to do a lot of research to formulate the correct parameters for Outlook. You must do the same for the email server you are using. I'm afraid I cannot help you there. "It's not how hard you work, it's how much you get done."	[reply]
