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.

    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

      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

        A bit of code to see what you're doing may help. Although I'd also ask the IT support folks for ideas on how they would propose you could send your emails. We've had some of our machines locked down behind some tough firewalls, and I just asked for an SMTP server to use, and they set it up to allow me to do the same thing. Obviously, you're in your own unique situation, but perhaps what worked for me will work for you ;-)

        Good luck!
