Hi,!

thanks for the replies everyone.

I just followed gellyfish 's detailed instructions on configuring my IIS to allow relay connections for my SMTP at localhost and I finally got it to work!

As of now, all I can hope is that I'm not the only one who had this problem with sending e-mail on Windows. Hopefully anyone who was in my situation --(Has adminstrative access to there Windows server and trying to allow your SMPT to relay so your perl script can work!) --then they can use this thread to solve their problem.

It took so long sitting last night w/out accomplishing anything only because I took the time to try to get all three modules working to send e-mail, read all three e-mail sending module doc's, smpt related info, and basic IIS smpt config that in the long run didn't help much but give me a bit more knowledge.

Thanks tanger
