Hey all,

I'm making a simple Password reminder script where it allows users to insert there member's e-mail address and request a new password.

Since this involves e-mailing a confirmation link to the members e-mail address, I will be using either one of these modules, MAIL::Sendmail and NET::SMTP.

Now theres two versions of MAIL::Sendmail that seem to be new. Heres the thing that confuses me a lot. One version of MAIL::Sendmail is v0.79 (this is the one I have installed) and the other is v0.78. When I goto CPAN and search for "MAIL::Sendmail", these two versions come up. The version 0.78 has a more recent date then the v0.79 and a different author. Basically both work the same it seems, and v0.79 seems to incorportate MIME::QuotedPrint, so therefore I will use this one if deciding to use MAIL::Sendmail.

Since the domain name of the site does not have a mail server yet, we will be using the SMTP server of the domain registering service.

For the situation I'm in, does anyone have any recommendations on which one I should be using. Since any member's e-mail address may be complicated, should I choose NET::SMTP isntead since its RFC compliant? I read the thread "MAIL::Sendmail" on this site and it says that MAIL::Sendmail is not. Any suggestions on which module I should be using for my case is appreciated :)

Thank you,

Anthony
