hi :)

recently i have been testing a lot of ways to send email using perl. obviously most of the solution use certain perl module such as IO::Socket::INET, Net::SMTP or others. the email can be sent out successfully, but it doesnt suit my need.

actually i need to send the email as an email-to-sms service. i need to send email to the service provider, such as 0123456789@sms.maxis.net.my. everytime when i use the solution as mentioned above to send email, the email can reach my webmail account successfully, but it cannot reach my cell phone. so i start searching what is the reason. then, i found out that there were some additional hearders/information that was attached to the email i send. for example like this:

do u observe that there are more than 1 "Receive:" ?
i believe that it is inserted automatically by the module like IO::Socket::INET or Net::SMTP. subsequently this cause my service provider think that i am spammers. therefore, they drops my email and not forward to my cell phone.

so, that's why i need to find the solution to send an email without using any of the modules. i found a script writen in php for send socketmail. it is simple and does not use any module or built-in function. i try to run it and it really works. the sms really reach my cell phone successfully. that's why i am so sure that the problem is come from the perl modules.

so, does anyone know any way to send an email without using any modules?

that's all my problems. thank you very much :)

regards,
hweefarn
