in reply to SMTP Email problems

There's a Debug parameter available which might help you out. 


my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($$ref_host_em, Debug => 1);

    Thanks for that. I have added the debug and got the output below.
    Sadly it did not help a lot and even confused me
    because I got the same messages about SMTP authentication when it was both 'on' and 'off'.
    Perhaps the last message about Unexpected EOF on command channel
    is the one I sohuld be thinking about.
    Any thoughts on this will be welcome!
