I have been able to connect to gmail and send plain text email using Net::SMTP::TLS. However, I suspect there is a bug in $msg->as_string because my logo.jpg is damaged, and the <img ...> tag seems broken (i.e. the image does not appear in the right place in the html body). This is in contrast to when I use the defaults in MIME::Lite but the smtp services of my M$ Exchange server (the only reason I am not using that server here is that the domain required for sending is on the gmail email account). Since MIME::Lite uses Net::SMTP, and I can use Net::SMTP::TLS to connect to gmail, is there a way to tell MIME::Lite to use the sender I make using Net::SMTP::TLS, or that it should use Net::SMTP::TLS instead of Net::SMTP? Thanks Ted

But I get a different error: Can't locate object method "supports" via package "MIME::Lite::SMTP" at C:/Perl/site/lib/MIME/Lite.pm line 2872, <GEN3> line 7. Does this tell you more than it tells me?

MIME::Lite is using the undocumented Net::SMTP method ->supports. This is arguably a bug in MIME::Lite; OTOH changind a class's @ISA behind its back isn't very polite either. I would recommend using Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::TLS, though it's marked as alpha so you will want to test it thoroughly first. Ben |
