Re: Mime::Lite Sendmail Dying

I suggest you take a look at the opening caveat in the MIME::Lite documentation:

WAIT!
MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a number of alternatives, like Email::MIME or MIME::Entity and Email::Sender, which you should probably use instead. MIME::Lite continues to accrue weird bug reports, and it is not receiving a large amount of refactoring due to the availability of better alternatives. Please consider using something else.

I find this part of the documentation highly misleading. At least in my experience, MIME::Lite works quite well. But I mostly use it on Windows and Debian, so maybe other OSes/distributions are more problematic.	[reply]

Neither were any problems on CentOS 5, 6, and FreeBSD 8 (possibly earlier ones too) with the module itself.	[reply]

All of those said, I started having problems with Mime::Lite when I upgraded to ActivePerl 5.16.3. I have since switched to Mail::Sender to send mail via external SMTP.	[reply]

... I take that back for I have not tried "sendmail" method, only "smtp" one.	[reply]

Hmm, I wrote this thing years ago, so you might be on to something, perhaps it makes the most sense to move on to another module.	[reply]
