Fast and dirty way (Read No module), If you know the path to your SMTP compliant MTA.(here sendmail on a unix box)

open(MAIL,"|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t") or die "Can't open Sendmail : $
+!\n";
print MAIL << "EOT";

To: destuser\@destsite.com
Subject: Put your subject here
Return-Path: fromuser\@fromsite.com
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

You simply cant do this on a vanilla M$ system there is no compliant MTA. Ah CHU did say he was using M$, you could perform negot direct with the smtp server via a socket if you really wanted to avoid a module but why? Net::SMTP is soo easy. -- Zigster	[reply]
