Is there something we need to configure in the Exchange Server ??
When i do the debug from the SMTP package, it's telling me that SMTP can't relay to the adress specify.

While this isn't much of a perl question (google your non perl stuff), I'd suggest checking out this page which will explain how the relaying in Exchange is supposed to work. It sounds to me like it may be that your box that is trying to send out is not listed in the list of hosts to relay for or your server requires authentication to relay. -phill	[reply]

You will have to authenticate to the server. `use Mail::Sender; my $sender = new Mail::Sender {smtp => 'the.mail.server.com'}; die "Error: $Mail::Sender::Error\n" unless ref $sender; print join(', ', $sender->QueryAuthProtocols()),"\n";` [download] will tell you what protocols are supported by the mail server. And `use Mail::Sender; my $sender = new Mail::Sender { smtp => 'the.mail.server.com', auth => 'NTLM', authid => 'username', authpwd => 'password', };` [download] will log you in. I'm sure some other modules do support a few authentication protocols as well. Mail::Sender currently supports PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM. HTH, Jenda	[reply] [d/l] [select]
