My answer has little to do with Perl, but I ran into the same problem a while ago with a customers ISP and their mail list. The ISP wanted to "authorize" the sender before it would send (this ISP was XO if you are interested) I couldn't figure out a way either without resulting to a clumbsy "expect" routine or something of that nature. What I found though was if I checked for mail first, and logged in that way, then I was authorized on the send directly afterwards. So, that's the way the script is written, it checks for mail, with useing account name and password first and then starts sending the weekly news letter. your milage may vary.
