Sending mail via Perl script.....

sprakash has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hiya All,

I needed some help on a tough situation I am in -- well here's the situation: I recently moved to a new web host (NT hosting) with MS Access database support and all. I have a script which used to use SendMail to send email when the script was executed but now the web host says that they do not have SendMail, only GeoCel DevMailer. I have tried using some of the examples one the DevMailer site but it doesn't work. I was wondering if there was any other way I could get my script to send email? I tried Net::SMTP but that didn't work either.......

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance,
Surya

Could you post your Net::SMTP attempt? As long as you are connecting to a valid SMTP server, I don't think it matters what platform you are coming from... -Blake	[reply]

I use MIME::Lite on Windows NT with no problems. It's also PPMable with ActivePerl. However, I have access to an SMTP server.... GeoCel DevMailer appears to have a Windows OLE interface. A Perl example on their web site is here... I've never used the mailer, so I don't know if it works...	[reply]
