Where did all the newlines go?

The stuff you pasted seems very disconnected from itself and unlike anything I see in the documentation -- typical Khen1950fx junk -- sorry about that, I usually try to point-out his nonsense, but I shy away from email threads

What you want to try is delete all SASL stuff from you code and add only this 

$NetSMTP->auth( $user, $pass );

[download]
and Net::SMTP will try to load Authen::SASL... if the remote server demands it... and it should just work.

Through UTSLing I learned you can also write  $NetSMTP->auth( Authen::SASL->new(...) ); if you need more customization

If it doesn't, well, you'll need to copy Net::SMTP_auth exactly

as I can't ask multiple ISP's for our customers to install SMTP_auth.
