Hi, I'm trying to write a script to send email, and I'm using the Mail::Sender package for it. I'm using my company's exchange server to send it, which uses NTLM authentication. I'm not able to login. What am i missing?

 

use Mail::Sender; 
use Authen::NTLM; 

open my $DEBUG, ">file.txt" or die "Can't open the debug file: $!\n"; 

my $sender = new Mail::Sender{ 
smtp => 'mail.company.com', #disguised 
on_errors=>'die', 
from => 'sender@domain.com', 
to =>'recipient@domain.com', 
subject => 'this is a test', 
auth =>'NTLM', 
authid => 'user', 
authpwd => 'password', 
authdomain=>'domain', 
debug => $DEBUG, 
debug_level=>'4' 

} 
or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"; 

$sender->Open(); 
$sender->SendLineEnc("Hi,\n wasaaaaaaaa!\n"); 
$sender->Close();

The error I get: Authentication unsuccessful Here's the complete log file -

What am I doing wrong? The login and password are correct, and I can succesfully use this script to send mail through an outside smtp server ( for e.g. comcast, by using LOGIN protocol , though). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
