Sending Emails With Authentication

jking_98 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been using MIME::Lite to send emails with attachments, but now I am having a problem. We just changed SMTP mail providers and our new provider requires authentication. Is there anyway to send the user name and password when calling the MIME::LITE "send" method or is there another mail module that allows you to send messages with attachments using authentication? Thanks in advance.

I prefer Mail::Sender, written by our own jenda. Example Straight from CPAN: `if ($sender->MailMsg({ smtp => 'mail.yourISP.com', from => 'somebody@somewhere.com', to =>'Jenda@Krynicky.czX', subject => 'this is a test', msg => "Hi Johnie.\nHow are you?" auth => 'NTLM', authid => 'jenda', authpwd => 'benda', }) < 0) { die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"; } print "Mail sent OK."` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You might try using send_by_smtp() to send via Net::Smtp which has an auth method.	[reply]
