in reply to NET::SMTP help

Do you have access to the SMTP server logs? If not, try to get access. It likely will tell you the problem. My bet is that you're not supplying enough header information. For example, there's no 'From:' header. I know you're sending it via $s->mail($from), but some SMTP servers like to see it in the actual header, too. Further, there's no subject nor date stamp. I'm not sure which ones may be required, but I would suggest that some SMTP servers (or some spam filters) would reject anything without these because either they don't conform to the standard, or because they're hallmarks of spam.

          $s->to($to);
    $s->mail($from);
    $s->data();
    $s->datasend("To: $to\n");
###
    $s->datasend("From: $from\n");
    $s->datasend("Subject: Hi, this looks like SPAM ... but it ain't.\
+n");
    $s->datasend('Date: ', scalar(time), "\n");
###
    $s->datasend("\n");
    $s->datasend("$message \n" );
    $s->datasend( "\n" );
    $s->dataend();
    $s->quit();
