in thread Net::SMTP and TLS Problems!

jesuashok is wrong, neither Net::SMTP nor Mail::Sender support STARTTLS. Net::ESMTP says it does, but I've never used this module, so can't say how well it works.

SASL and TLS are two very different things. SASL implements secure authentication over insecure channels (e.g. via Digest-MD5 passwords), whereas TLS encrypts an entire network transaction with SSL.

    Net::ESMTP does indeed seem to do it! But it is in beta and it uses C. I need an all perl solution as I won't be able to make and install- and even if I could it is getting less eloquent (though maybe that's ok in perl).
