We are on Windows 2000.

Also sniffing the network might not be possible as I need to go through a lot of approval process and paperwork before this can even begin.

    Without more info, the only suggestion I have is to try to run your script in DEBUG mode, by doing

    perl -d ScriptName.pl

    Debug mode commands are documented in perldebug and perldebtut.

        ...each is assigned his own private delusion but he cannot see the baggage on his own back.

      What other information would help you help me. I tried running the script on a debug mode and it hangs in the Perl - SMTP module.

      Also I made sure the port 25 is open and no other application or firewall is blocking it.
