Re: Cannot seem to override a "From" address using MIME::Lite

in reply to Cannot seem to override a "From" address using MIME::Lite

I suspect that the source of your problem is that $args{from} is not populated. Inspect the contents using Data::Dumper.

I tested the provided code locally on OpenBSD 3.5 with perl 5.8.2 and confirmed that the mail was formed correctly, with the provided From address.

Although I didn't provide the code for the new() method, it is definitely being set to a value. I have also verified this by printing $from on the command-line.

Is there somewhere else where the value might be defaulted? (ie. in the operating system?)

MIME::Lite sends mails using the local sendmail executable by default, perhaps the implemenation you are using does not allow overriding the From address.

Try sending the mail using SMTP, as documented here
