in reply to SMTP authentication misery

Try a few other authtypes
my $Auth_type = 'LOGIN'; #PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5# $smtp->auth( $Auth_type, $Username , $Password ); $smtp -> auth( 'LOGIN', 'z', 'ztest' );

    Thanks for the reply, zentara. Is there ever a question that baffles you, or a monkhood level beyond chancellor to which you aspire?

    Unfortunately, neither 'LOGIN' nor 'CRAM-MD5' produced better results. 'LOGIN' gave the same "530 Access denied" error from the ISP, while 'CRAM-MD5' gave me "504 auth type unimplemented (#5.5.1)."

    I'd be grateful to hear any other ideas....

      ... to be honest i've been hanging around here for the last 8 years or so, and i take alot of notes.... you too, one day, can be as pathetic as me :-)

        Don't do yourself down, you and some others would be sadly missed if not around to answer questions that us lesser mortals are unable to fathom on our own!
