Steve_BZ,

I have not used 'Mail::Sender', but if your not getting errors from Perl than you need to look at the log files for the mail deamon (MTA).

Another thought!

If it works sometimes, and your timing out, maybe the mail server your contacting is not available to the Internet. A common technique to force all mail through a 'spam scanner', is to disable (firewall) any SMTP connection from the Internet, so that the second/third/... 'MX' DNS record is used which will point to the spam checking machine(s).

After checking the mail, and if the email passes for 'non-spam', the scanner sends the email to the first 'MX' record. You can fix that by sending the email to a local Mail Transport Agent (MTA) like 'sendmail' which will try all MX records until a successful delivery.

Good Luck
