in reply to Mail::Sendmail Cannot Send out email

To extend on stevieb's reply, you probably need to provide credentials (perhaps a username and password) in order to relay from this server. Mail::Sendmail doesn't support this. So if this is indeed the part you're missing, you'll have to pick another email module or write your own that does support SMTP authorization.

    ... or install a local mail server (e.g. postfix), configure that correctly, and tell Mail::Sendmail to use localhost.
