Okay, thanks... I tried peerhost() and got what I was looking for: my $IP = $SMTP->peerhost(); print "Connected to $IP\n"; It prints the IP address of the remote host as expected, and each run of the program shows a different IP, which all map back correctly to the original hostname. Thanks for the help! Zucan	[reply]
