Im guessing that you need to authenticate yourself with the SMTP server. Without seeing the full output of the conversation with the server (what you posted is not it) its hard to tell whats going wrong.

I will find out if I need to supply authentication. What I posted was all I saw in conversing with the server, nothing else was echoed back

... writes the conversation with the SMTP server to STDERR. I think you need to use CGI::Carp to get this to be redirected to your webserver error logs.

Is there any method to get STDERR, at least, get echoed back to the terminal ? I will check out CGI::Carp, thanks.

Does MIME::Lite handle attachments ? Wow, there are far too many modules for sending email, which one is easy/simple for a Perl novice like me. :)

Thanks,

Peter
