using NT's Sendmail (equiv.) - strange errors.

[jez]

Hi there,
I am using Geocel's Devmailer to get Matt's FormMail.pl to work on IIS 4 (and it does, just great!)..

BUT I want to write another script of my own that sends mail (among other things).

I already wrote a Unix version using Sendmail (nice and straight forward) but now I can't seem to find any decent info on doing the equivalent on NT, and it is quite different!!!
I am getting strange errors as I have tried to use this Devmailer as an OLE object - the company who make this give no help other than offering scripts that work with it.

Anybody who can give me any tips on writing mail functions in Perl for NT, please help.

Many thanks

Jez

Thanks, but this was answered in the perl forum, where I cross-posted it, and it was suggested that there were issues with Blat compromising security.
I did get it to work but I was also going to try using Net::SMTP

I've never heard of any security issues but then again the machine I run it from has limited access. I've never used the smtp module so I can't offer any advice in that area.
