Beloved Monks,

I've just installed MIME::Lite 3.030 on an old WinXP PC running ActiveState Perl 5.20.2, and have written this code to send emails via my ISP:

use MIME::Lite; MIME::Lite->send('smtp', 'smtp.my-isp.net', Timeout => 60); $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => '"My Name" <me@here.com>', To => '"Your Name" <you@there.com>', Subject => 'Test from WinXP', Data => 'Hi!'); $msg->send or die "Error sending email!"; print "Email sent.\n";
I run it from the cmd prompt, and if I run it every couple of seconds, about 80% of the runs work, (i.e. the script displays "Email sent." and the emails get through to the recipient), but the other 20% fail, i.e. no email is delivered and all that is displayed is this:
  SMTP mail() command failed:
  4.3.1 Insufficient system storage
See how the response doesn't include "Error sending email!".
Meanwhile, Task Manager shows me that I've got 700MB of Physical Memory available.

Any ideas what's causing this, and how I can resolve it?

Thanks.
