Where is your mailserver set? `if ($I_DONT_HAVE_SENDMAIL) { MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "smtp.myisp.net", Timeout=>60); }` [download] "We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise." - Larry Wall.	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Try un commenting the `#$msg->send();` so that it reads `$msg-send();`. You may also wish to read the documentation which shows examples and details configuration as you need to specify a mail server. Hope this helps, Cheers Martin	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for the replies, even after removing the comment it is not working	[reply]

Hi, If all you have done is un comment that line its not going to work. Have you specified a mail server as indicated in the previous posts by jbrugger and myself? If you have supplied details for a mail server, make sure they are valid and that the mail server can be reached from the system the script is running on. Failing that, please post the code you now have. Hope this helps, Cheers Martin	[reply]

Hi, Try this tutorial: How to send emails in perl It is a very simple one, and has links to simplify it more or explain you about MIME::Lite completely! It is a good starting point because perldocs use to supose that you have a LINUX or C programing base. Once you know what they are explaining, you are going to see it as something very simple. (then you should gain your experience by succeeding in some simple scripts). Hope it helps! .{\('v')/} C H E E R U P ! _`(___)' ___a_l_b_e_r_t_o_________ Wherever I lay my KNOPPIX disk, a new FREE LINUX nation could be established.	[reply]

Can you please post the entire program that you are actually trying to run? It seems there are critical pieces of information that you haven't told us yet. For example, I sincerely hope you're not really trying to send mail to 'mymail.info' - or are you? Those are the types of questions that I'd like to see answered by posting the actual code being used. Thanks!	[reply]

`use MIME::Lite; #### Start with a simple text message: $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => 'francis@suresoft.info', To => 'thomas.g@suresoft.info', Subject => 'A message with 2 parts...', Type => 'TEXT', Data => "Here's the GIF file you wanted", ); $msg->send();` [download] Actually this is the first time i am using this module, i am working in windows 2000 and outlook express mail. For outgoing mails in our company we are using smtp server with ip address(192.168.1.5),and for incoming mail we are using pop3 server with same ip address. The name of the server is Intranet.suresoft.info.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you! So that's the entire program? After reading through the docs for MIME::Lite, you might want to specify `MIME::Lite->send("smtp");` at the beginning of your program, after the `use` line.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
