Richard,
I also use MIME::Lite (on Win2000) with mod_perl. Found it to be quite reliable and
it supports attachments and receipts like so:
if($aReceipt ne '') { # If return receipt requested.
$msg->add("Disposition-Notification-To" => $aApobj->getEmail_Address);
}

Subject: Mail::Sender & modperl.
List,
Have any of you had any problems using Mail::Sender from within
mod_perl. My script seems to just sit there waiting for $sender->Open to
do anything. I will email the author also but imagined he *might* not be
familiar with mod_perl so won't be able to offer any suggestions.
Anyone? I looked through the archives but saw no reference to a problem
like this. Some people indicated much success with Mail::Sender (not so
for me however!).
Second, the recommended solution for sending mails is to instead put
them on a queue for an external daemon to handle. My question is, is
there a standard implementation people use when doing this. Is the KISS
theory invoked and the outoing mail simply written to some plain text
spool file or do people use something more involved like writing the
to,cc,from,subject,body test to a database and storing any temporary
files (attachment) in a directory for later encoding?
