Hi,

Heres a small example using the Net::SMTP module. I think this is standard on most distros. Be aware that it just sends plain emails & you will have to use another module to send html/attachments.

use Net::SMTP;
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new("10.10.100.200) || die "Couldnt reach the em
+ail server\n";

$smtp->mail( "test\@test.ie" );
$smtp->to( "receiver\@helpme.com" );
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: receiver\@helpme.com\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: test\@test.ie\n"); 
$smtp->datasend("Subject: blah blah blah\n"); 
$smtp->datasend("\n"); 
$smtp->datasend("lots of blah blah blah\n"); 
$smtp->dataend(); 
$smtp->quit();

Hope this helps.
