Hello - I am new here and have only limited Perl experience. I have spent about four hours trying to find a solution to a simple problem I have with MIME::Lite. I just need a pointer, not lots of hand holding :-) I'm using the brilliant MIME::Lite for sending mail and congratulate the author. However, I have a simple problem to overcome when using SMTP. It will easily give me SMTP Error that it comes across (5xx) for parsing, but I would like to get the remote server response line when it is successful (such as 250 OK message queued for delivery ABABABAB etc) 
sub sendmsg {
my $mx_record = shift;
my $sender = shift;
my $recipient = shift;
my $subject = shift;    
my $messagebody = shift;
my $message;
my $result;
        $message = MIME::Lite->new(
        Subject  => $subject,
        To       => $recipient,
        From     => $sender,
        Type    => 'text/html',
        Data     => $messagebody
        );
        $message->replace("X-Mailer" => "Perl Mailer Override");
        $message->add("X-Antiabuse" => ["anti abuse tracking", "cid:12
+34", "ccid:5678"]);
        MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $mx_record, Hello => 'example.com', T
+imeout => 20);
        # Send the message
        eval{$message->send};
        if($@) {
$result = "ERROR from MX: $mx_record\n$@\n";
        } else {
        $result = "OK from MX: $mx_record\n";
        }
return $result;    
}

My basic problem that I seek wisdom with is, how do I get at the successful server response? Warm and kind regards Leslie
