G'day fellow monks,

I'm stuck with a particular problem. My ISP does not have Net::SMTP_auth installed, but I can use Net::SMTP. The man page does show some auth functionality with Net::SMTP, yet I can't seem to get it going. To be able to send email from my ISP's account, I need to use SMTP authentication, which is cool, but now I can't get Net::SMTP to authenicate.

Is there a way that I've perhaps missed where I can use Net::SMTP to do the authentication to the SMTP server for me, or could I just FTP the Net::SMTP_auth.pm file onto the server, and use that?

Thanks!

Thanks!
