... is there need to configure outlook to use this module ... No. Mail::Sender doesn't care whether you have outlook or not. All you need is a network connection and an SMTP server somewhere that you can connect to. From the docs: Mail::Sender provides an object oriented interface to sending mails. It doesn't need any outer program. It connects to a mail server directly from Perl, using Socket. Sends mails directly from Perl through a socket connection.	[reply]
