[pm-h] E-mail Authentication

Well apparently I can post to the list now.  I couldn't for the
last week even though I was getting posts from the list.

Below is something I've been trying to post for a week now. 
Any comments?


I recently changed ISP's from Earthlink to AT&T.  With Earthlink
a simple sendmail would work every time, no matter the From:
or To: e-mail address:
http://www.mflan.com/temp/sendmail5.txt

With AT&T that script no longer works.  After a long delay it
says "Error sending mail: connect to smtp.att.yahoo.com failed
(Unknown error)".

Anyway, AT&T uses authentication.  I understand I need to
mimic that authentication.

My question is, should I used SendMail, Mail::Mailer, or
some other module for this?  Is getting mail authentication
to work a hard thing to do?  I suspect so from what I am 
reading. It appears a lot of people have dedicated a lot of 
time to this subject with marginal results.
