trying to send an e-mail using a specific port. I read up on this on a previous discussion but my e-mail is not getting to my inbox.. if someone can check my code and tell me if I have something quirky somewhere I can't see it. 

    my $from = "$cfg->{mail}->{'from'}";
    my $to = "$cfg->{mail}->{'to'}";
    my $host = $cfg->{mail}->{smtp_host};
    INFO("sending message to $to via $host");
## My NET::SMTP invocation
    my $port = $cfg->{mail}->{smtp_port};

    my $s = Net::SMTP->new( $host, Port => $port );
    print $s->banner(), "\n";

    $s->to($to);
    $s->mail($from);
    $s->data();
    $s->datasend("To: $to\n");
    $s->datasend("\n");
    $s->datasend("$message \n" );
    $s->datasend( "\n" );
    $s->dataend();
    $s->quit();

from and to scalars address are in the format blah@blah.com when I telnet manually and do the same as what the perl script does it sends the e-mail. so I know it's something about the coding
