Hi Monks

I would appreciate it if someone could please help me with the following problem.

I only posted a small piece of my code. The piece I think is giving the problem.

I also modified the user and pass for obvious reasons but kept the format the same

When I send the email to any email address within the same domain as mine it sends fine but as soon as I send it to a domain other than mine I get the error mentioned in the TITLE. I know most mail servers needs autentication for smtp to limit spamming. I'm not sure why the code listed below does not work

$user='user@host.co.za';
$pass='password';


MIME::Lite->send('smtp',$mailhost,Debug=>0,
     AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);

#$msg->send;
eval{$msg->send;};

$now = &now("today");
if($@)
{
    #print "\nFailed------>".$@."\n";
}
else
{
    #print LOG "\n------>successful";
}

The other thing I'm not sure of is if the autentication bit failed why would it send anything at "MIME::Lite-send" won't it fail if it did not authenticate? How do I know if "MIME::Lite-send" bit with AUTH was a success?

In reply to sorry, that domain isnt in my list of allowed rcpthosts by PugSA
