Auth with SMTP

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

Which is the best way to do an auth to a mail server.
And if you have example of connecting and doing the auth to a yahoo SMTP server.
I'm under 5_05 that means that i can use the auth from NET::SMTP :-(

Why doesn't Net::SMTP work with Perl 5.005? The Net::SMTP 2.26 in libnet 1.17 doesn't have any obvious incompatibilities. It requires Authen::SASL to handle authentication which also doesn't list an incompatibility with older versions.	[reply]
