Did you change the "ssl" to something like "https"? "ssl" isn't a protocol to precede a URL as you have done.

Sorry, I can't help anymore than I already have tried to.

hi kevin / all,

It is fine, thanks..

1) I just wanted to know, for mail::sender module, how to include ssl and even starttls in the perl script as the documentation of mail::sender module did not specify how to configure ssl or even starttls..

2) telnet smtp.gmail.com 465 did help.

3) http://www.perlmonks.org/?viewmode=p...node_id=359731 is where tls can be configured...

4)testing with outlook express worked...

        to => 'jenda@krynicky.cz',
        subject => 'Mail::Sender.pm - test TLS',
        charset => 'windows1252',
        TLS_required => 1,
        auth => 'PLAIN',
        authid => 'yyy',
        authpwd => 'xxx',

Andrew,

I am not really sure as I have not played with the module that you are referencing. I have sent mail using Perl before, using the Mail::Sendmail module, but have never done anything using SSL to send the mail (this is typically because the mails were all internal and didn't need encryption or encrypted transport).

I would suggest, if nobody here can help, that you post onto the Perlmonks site, as they probably have an answer for you on this. Please know though, if you have never posted over there, that they are rather particular about having all questions properly formed and asked.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi Andrew,

First this Notice from the Cpan Module:

GOTCHAS

Local user "someone@somewh ere.com" doesn't exist

"Thanks" to spammers mail servers usualy do not allow just anyone to post a message through them. Most often they require that either the sender or the recipient is local to the server

Mail::Sendmail works, Mail::Sender doesn't

If you are able to connect to the mail server and scripts using Mail::Sendmail work, but Mail::Sender fails with "connect() failed", please review the settings in /etc/services. The port for SMTP should be 25.

Second try adding more debug/error reporting:

on_errors => 'code',

Third Check You INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH THE MODULE Mail::Sender:

auth
the SMTP authentication protocol to use to login to the server currently the only ones supported are LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM.

Some protocols have module dependencies. CRAM-MD5 depends on Digest::HMAC_MD 5 and NTLM on Authen::NTLM.

You may add support for other authentication protocols yourself. See below.

Here are the return codes for errors:

Return codes

  ref to a Mail::Sender object =  success

  -1 = $smtphost unknown
  -2 = socket() failed
  -3 = connect() failed
  -4 = service not available
  -5 = unspecified communication error
  -6 = local user $to unknown on host $smtp
  -7 = transmission of message failed
  -8 = argument $to empty
  -9 = no message specified in call to MailMsg or MailFile
  -10 = no file name specified in call to SendFile or MailFile
  -11 = file not found
  -12 = not available in singlepart mode
  -13 = site specific error
  -14 = connection not established. Did you mean MailFile instead of SendFile?
  -15 = no SMTP server specified
  -16 = no From: address specified
  -17 = authentication protocol not accepted by the server
  -18 = login not accepted
  -19 = authentication protocol is not implemented
