I'm fond of Net::SMTP since it uses SMTP directly and doesn't require anything else (like a sendmail binary). I don't know much about Sendmail (if it exists), but I believe MIME::Lite is the most fashionable way to send mail (especially with attachments). It can be made to use Net::SMTP, so the combination is like magic. -Paul	[reply]
