Hi Wise Monks!

I am trying to use Net::SMTP to send e-mail from a CGI script in a hosting environment (not my own server). The server (which I have control) requires authentication (naturally), and I already tested that I can use Net::SMTP from other machine (not that hosting) to connect and send e-mail through that server.

However, when I uploaded my script to the hosting environment, the connecting effort dies with the error "Unknown callback: 'authname'. (user|auth|language|pass)".

This can be incompatible module, and I can install my own module, but first I need to find out which module to install. I already installed the newest libnet (1.22) and Authen::SASL (2.11), but they did not help.

The perl version is a bit old - 5.008004 - not sure if this have any effect. BTW I don't have any power to update that.

Any idea what causing this the error? Any suggestion?

Below is the part of the code doing the connect and authentication:

 if($debug) { print STDERR "going to connect to $ssph->{host}\n"; }
 my $smtp= Net::SMTP->new
  (Host=> $ssph->{host},
   ($ssph->{port} ? (Port=> $ssph->{port}) : ()),
   ($debug ? (Debug=> 1) : ())
  ) || die "open SMTP $ssph->{host}: ".$!;
 if($debug) { print STDERR "connected to $ssph->{host}, going to auth\
+n"; }

 if($ssph->{user} and $ssph->{pass}) {
  $smtp->auth($ssph->{user}, $ssph->{pass}) || die "at auth: ".$smtp->
+message();
 }
 if($debug) { print STDERR "auth to $ssph->{host} successful\n"; }

This is the output:

(then it died with "Unknown callback: 'authname'. (user|auth|language|pass)")

Thanks!
