sending mail in win

I need to send an e-mail from within my perlscript, but it is running on an NT-server. Thus I do not have access to a sendmail. I am new to this, and all I know that we use an Exchange-Server for our mailsystem.

Is there some way of sending an email?

Thanks a lot,
Gniss

I am already using that module, but it seems that I don't have any access to an SMTP server. I always thought they acceppt any mails from any source?? But all I get is a connection reset...

Any ideas...?

I dont thing that this is the problem. What is the name of your mail server? Perhaps you look in the prefs. of your mail Programm I mean outlook or s.th. like that. search for the entrie field mailserver for sending messages.

Another thing could be rights to use the mail server. Do you need a valid account on it? Perhaps you should have a closer look at this point?

Write infos and we will solve it

As mentioned above, it is an ms exchange server. and it seems i need an account there. seems to be no way around i am afraid...

even our smtp-gateway seems to perform a reverse lookup and resets the connection.

Hi

ms exchange server fine. But i guess the right name will be s.th. like mail.yourdomain.com

Normally insite one ip-net(domain) everybody has rights to send mails. when you are outside the domain you need a account. Is it possible for you to change the configuration of the server? If you dont have rights do it ask your admin.

I am afraid that's where I am hitting the borders of bureaucracy. This is a *very* large company and they surely won't change the configuration just for my tool to run.

Guess I am gonna have to think of some other means of notification...

Try BLAT for Windows. Blat is a Public Domain Windows 95/NT console utility that sends the contents of a file in an e-mail message using the SMTP protocol.

Thank you, I think BLAT will do just fine for me.
Hope I will be able to talk our admin into creating a user for my tool...

Thank you once more!
