Re: Can't get Net::SMTP to work

Have you tried using the server's IP address rather than host name? Net::SMTP->new appears to return undef if it can't lookup the host name.

$ perl -MNet::SMTP -MData::Dumper -e'print Dumper(Net::SMTP->new(Host 
+=> "zzzz.tmpdir.eu", Debug => 1, Timeout => 60))'
$VAR1 = undef;
$ perl -MNet::SMTP -MData::Dumper -e'print Dumper(Net::SMTP->new(Host 
+=> "mail.tmpdir.eu", Debug => 1, Timeout => 60))'

Yes, actually, I initially had the IP address, but changing to the hostname was one of my attempts to get it to work.	[reply]

Also, what is odd, even with "Debug => 1" set, I don't get ANY output from the 'new' routine. It is almost like it immediately fails and returns.	[reply]
