I have been reading a lot about this sendmail thing, but isnt it only on unix? I want to be able to send email from a perl script running on a win32 platform so is there a windows port of this?

Also i do a lot of work offline, writing, debugging etc before moving to a server, so is there some kind of mail server i can use to test mail sending completely offline?

Thx

You could use SMTP to send mails using Windows, or (as I do) use Blat (http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html).

To test mailsending completely offline I'd suggest you install a mailserver... "ArGoSoft MailServer (http://www.argosoft.com/applications/mailserver/)" (wich I use too)

Mzzl, Chris
