Re^2: Mail Sent with Test::Reporter Not Getting Delivered

I'm on DSL, so (I think) that means I do not have a permanent IP address.

OTOH, I have manually posted to this and other perl.org lists many times. It should be said, however, that I'm usually posting to the news interface rather than sending mail.

I subscribed to cpan-testers@perl.org yesterday with my Macintosh Mail program. This was done prior to my sending the undelivered mail in the hope that registering would ease the way.

So I would guess that Test::Reporter (or, perhaps, Mail::Send underneath it) is sending out the mail with Macintosh.local as the host name. Is there a workaround?

Thank you very much.

A similar issue was discussed on the Cpanplus-devel list; one suggestion raised there was to install Net::Domain to attempt to get the domainname. You might try installing that, if it's not already present. Another option, as described in Test::Reporter::Mail::Util, is to set the MAILDOMAIN environment variable. All this assumes though that your domainname is valid (ie, is associated with a real IP address). If you don't have a permanent IP address, your ISP will probably have an SMTP server that you can use for outgoing email; you could try using mail_send_args of Test::Reporter to specify the smtp server to pass to Mail::Mailer.

The mail_send_args approach seems like the easiest to try out. I'll try to get to it tomorrow. Thanks, Randy, for the suggestion. jimk	[reply]
