in reply to SendMail vs. Mail::Sender

It's worth noting that Mail::Sender doesn't conform to the SMTP standard (RFC821) and will break, producing unexpected results with some SMTP servers. Specifically, it always expects single line responses and will break on multiline SMTP responses. We've seen a number of AOL SMTP servers and others that return multiline responses. Looks like SendMail.pm supports them though, so I'd pick that one. Davious
