I can vouch for it as I have used the mod for a couple report generators. The doc examples do the job!

I forgot one bit of important information in my initial post - I need to use a client agent versus a server. I am not really sure how I tell the difference, but the admin person at my site told me this. I am trying to use Perl to send emails outside my company and he told me I had to use a client agent that would pass a username/password to the Exchange server to be authenticated, otherwise I get "Unable to Relay" error. I am using SendEasy because he suggested it when I told him I was using SendMail. Subsequently I was able to get SendEasy to work with a PDF attachment, but like another poster pointed out it uses "application/octet-stream" for "Content-Type" and I would prefer using a package where I could specify the MIME tags. Could you tell me if Mail::Sender fits what I want? Thanks!!!

It depends on the authentication protocols supported by your exchange server. Mail::Sender does support authentication, but not all protocols. The ones currently supported by Mail::Sender are LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM. If you already have Mail::Sender installed you can find what protocols does the server support by this:

c:\> perl -MMail::Sender -e "print join ', ', Mail::Sender->QueryAuthP
+rotocols('the.server.name')"
