I have a site hosted by GoDaddy with e-mail accounts. I'm trying to send out an e-mail using Perl from my desktop, not from my host, and the outgoing e-mail appears to be sending, but is never received at the destination.

I should think if Outlook can do it, I should be able to do it.

Following is the code I am using with the debugging output following that.

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Net::SMTP::SSL;

my $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new('smtpout.secureserver.net', Port => 465
+, Hello => 'mydomain.org', Debug => 1) or die $!;
defined($smtp->auth('me@mydomain.org', 'xxxxxxxx')) or die $!;
$smtp->mail('me@mydomain.org') or die $!;
$smtp->to('them@theirdomain.com') or die $!;
$smtp->data or die $!;
$smtp->datasend("From: me\@mydomain.org") or die $!;
$smtp->datasend("To: them\@theirdomain.com") or die $!;
$smtp->datasend("Subject: This is a test") or die $!;
$smtp->datasend("\n") or die $!;

$smtp->datasend("This is test #1.\n") or die $!;
$smtp->dataend or die $!;

$smtp->quit or die $!;

exit;
