[sf-perl] perl Mime send timesout

[Andrew Solomon]

I've found sending email very difficult on account of all the various hoops
to jump through to prove you're not spamming.

For MIME::Lite you also have this at the top of the docs
https://metacpan.org/pod/MIME::Lite

"MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a
number of alternatives, like Email::MIME or MIME::Entity and Email::Sender,
which you should probably use instead. MIME::Lite continues to accrue weird
bug reports, and it is not receiving a large amount of refactoring due to
the availability of better alternatives. Please consider using something
else."


For my own projects I've used http://www.mailgun.com/ and it was very easy
(and the way I use it, very cheap too).

Hope that helps

Andrew
