Re^2: OLE OUTLOOK Security

Well Im using outlook on my local machine to send the email(using Activestate Perl), rather than going straight thru the SMTP server. My scripts using the SMTP server worked for about 2 weeks(about 3 months ago). I started using sendmail on unix to send .csv attachments instead of .xls(for some reason the .xls files were getting corrupted). My clients prefer .xls so now Im trying to send it with Outlook. They are trying to secure the whole network here at work. We will soon be using SSH and SFTP rather than telnet and FTP. I will have to make some more changes to my scripts :(

What I'm suggesting is that if Outlook can drive SMTP so that it can send mail, your code should be able to drive SMTP in the same way to be able to send mail. The Net::* modules should give access to the facilities you need to make that work. Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]

I will try it again but I believe thats what I used last time, SMTP and MIME-Lite. But for securtiy purposes I wasnt able to send emails directly through SMTP. I will let you know how that goes. Thanks.... Fue	[reply]

OK, I just tried it, here's the msg I got '5.7.3 client does not have permission to submit mail through this server.'. I guess I can sit here and press the 'yes' button on the popup but it doesnt serve the purpose of automation when alot of my reports are sent out late at night. Thanks	[reply]
