Hi,

The last 3 days I've been reading up on how to setup a SMPT server on my Windows IIS and trying to use Perl to send mail using that smpt server. I realized that I didn't have too, and I spent the last 3 days researching for nothing.

Now I'm back here again trying to send mail using Perl on Windows. This is a daunting task, because I never got this to work. I got sendmail working on a Linux box , but not a Windows one.

Heres my scenario, I'm using Mail::Sendmail and found out that my smpt server is the one that my nameserver is hosted on. The provider is comcast, so the relay server is smpt.comcast.com. I was told that when using this, it'll recognize my machine and allow me to use it as a relay.

So my code is the following (which still doesn't send mail):

use Mail::Sendmail;

# Set up some default configuration
unshift @{$Mail::Sendmail::mailcfg{'smtp'}} , 'smtp.comcast.com';
$Mail::Sendmail::mailcfg{'from'} = "test\@aol.com";

my %mail = (
  To => "mytestaddress\@aol.com",  #real add changed for this ex.
  Subject => "Test 1",
  Message => "Test number 1",
);

sendmail( %mail ) or print "Error: $Mail::Sendmail::error\n";
print "Sent Successfully";

Now the above code, does not generate a Mail::Sendmail::error, and prints out "Sent Successfully", but I do not receive anything. Does anyone know if this would be a Perl problem I'm having or some setup I'm not doing correctly? Anyone dealt with using comcast relay server ? ahhh...I'm going nuts the last 3 days trying to get my perl script to send mail on windows.

Thanks for your time in reading all of this...
