It looks like me trying to keep it short and sweet is not working. I'm now going to post everything that I know about this situation. I hope it is not too long / against the rules.

This is the ReadMe Text that I received. The changes indicated have been made, but as you can see it does not address needing authentication:

GENERIC PERL SCRIPT =================== This script is designed to run on any server which has access to a SMTP server and is running a Perl interpreter. It uses a socket connection directly to the mail server so has no need for a command line mailer. INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE SCRIPT ====================================== * Install and test the Perl interpreter as described in the documentation for your Perl interpreter. * Open up the script subques.pl in a text editor such as notepad or vim * Check the port that the SMTP server runs on. This is usually port 25. If it is different change the line $port = 25; at line 3. * Find the line $smtpServer = 'MAIL_SERVER_ADDRESS'; at line 4, * Replace the text MAIL_SERVER_ADDRESS with the address of the SMTP server you wish to use. * Find the line $domain = 'DOMAIN_RESPONSES_APPEAR_FROM'; at line 5, * Replace the text DOMAIN_NAME_RESPONSES_APPEAR_FROM with the domain of your server. Responses will appear to be from surveyScript@DOMAIN_NAME * Find the line $sWebMaster='CONTACT_ADDRESS_FOR_ERRORS'; at line 6, * Replace the text CONTACT_ADDRESS_FOR_ERRORS with an email address for problems with the survey to be sent to. * Find the line $sReturnURL='URL_LINK_FROM_SCRIPT_PAGES'; at line 7, * Replace the text URL_LINK_FROM_SCRIPT_PAGES with the full URL of the page respondents should go to after a successful submission. * Find the line $sReturnText='TEXT_FOR_LINK_FROM_SCRIPT_PAGES'; as line 8, * Replace the text TEXT_FOR_LINK_FROM_SCRIPT_PAGES with the text the respondent will click on to move on after a successful submission (to go to the URL you specified as 'URL_LINK_FROM_SCRIPT_PAGES' above. * Check that the line #!/usr/local/bin/perl at the top of the file points to the path of your Perl interpreter. * Set permissions on the script to be read and execute
