I tried to use MIME lite in order to send an e-mail with attachment. I used the simple example found on the MIME lite documentation page. The mail server I am using does not need authentication and I downloaded the last version of MIME lite and Date::Format (as requested by MIME lite). Now I have this strange behaviour if I use linux everything works fine and the message is sent correctly, but with windows XP I receive always the message "I cannot connect to server unknown error". I tested the port 25 on the windows machine and it is not blocked, even if when I tried to do a telnet on this port the response is "I cannot connect". I am a bit confused. In the windows machine the firewall is deactivated but I have the MCfee antivirus on and I would like to keep it on. Can someone help me or tell me if there is a workaround to send e-mails with attachment in Windows? Thanks Marco
