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

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
