I am using a SMTP mail server which require user + ssl authentication for connection. I am looking for the perl modules to connect to the mail server and send emails but doesn't found anything helpful.
Any suggestion for perl module or any perl code would be really appreciated.
EDIT
I have tried to use Mail::Sendmail and Net::SMTP::SSL to connect to the sendmail server and send mail. Below is the sample code but getting the error user unknown.
Error:
mail: Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0x9599850) not found
RCPT TO: error (550 5.1.1 <
[email protected]>... User unknown).
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::Sendmail;
use Net::SMTP::SSL;
my %mail = (
#To=> 'No to field this time, only Bcc and Cc',
From=> '
[email protected]',
Cc=> '
[email protected]',
# Cc will appear in the header. (Bcc will not)
Subject => 'Test message',
'X-Mailer' => "Mail::Sendmail version $Mail::Sendmail::VERSION",
);
$mail{Smtp} = Net::SMTP::SSL->new("mail.server.com", Port=> 465);
$mail{auth} = {user=>'username', password=>"password", required=>1 };
$mail{'X-custom'} = 'My custom additionnal header';
$mail{Message} = "The message key looks terrible, but works.";
# cheat on the date:
$mail{Date} = Mail::Sendmail::time_to_date( time() - 86400 );
if (sendmail %mail) {
print "Mail sent OK.\n" }
else {
print "Error sending mail: $Mail::Sendmail::error \n" }
print "\n\$Mail::Sendmail::log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;
