I'm trying to send a mail from my gmx account, using Net::SMTP module. I have debug on so i can follow the data traffic. The login seems okay and up to the end everything looks good, but right before the end it fails saying:554-Transaction failed Net::SMTP::_SSL=GLOB(0x1844d3c)<<< 554 Unauthorized sender address. I cannot understand what is the problem because the sender's address is mine and i just logged in successfully. Here is my script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SMTP;
 
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mail.gmx.com',
                           Hello => 'Rob.nl',
                           Timeout => 30,
                           Debug   => 1,
                           SSL     => 1,
                           Port => 465
                          );

$smtp->auth('accountname@gmx.com','password');
$smtp->mail('accountname@gmx.com');
$smtp->to('someone@gmail.com');
$smtp->data;
$smtp->datasend("Hi.");
$smtp->dataend;
$smtp->quit;
