Do you have unrestricted access to an SMTP server? Do you need to use Outlook? There are several ways to work this, but they work differently depending on your networking situation. I'm partial to Mail::Sendmail, myself, but the messages I send are very simple. When you say the mail is in the Excel file, that means From, To, Subject, Text, etc?	[reply]

No, just their email address, I will need a interface to make my emails and attach a picture of the event.	[reply]

Assuming there your Excel file consists of a single column with email adresses only, I would save as csv, and then read that file from perl, using a combination of the advice above. As a side-note, you may want to validate your email adresses as described in perlfaq9. -- print map{chr}unpack(q{A3}x24,q{074117115116032097110111116104101114032080101114108032104097099107101114})	[reply]
