[Nms-cgi-devel] TFMail - SMTP AUTH

[Todd G. <gre...@ya...>]

I just downloaded TFMail middle of last week, got it
set up, and was using it (nice piece of work!), and
then I happened to plug in a non-local email address
(for an email field on my form, pretending to be a
customer visiting the site) and – BANG! – TFMail
failed because my SMTP server requires SMTP
authentication (I was using SMTP, since I’m not on
Unix and don’t have sendmail). So I spent the next few
hours learning about SMTP protocol and adding some
code to the TFMail script to get it to perform the
SMTP AUTH for me.

My point to writing is that apparently the current
version of TFMail does not handle SMTP AUTH (unless
I'm seriously missing something), and it certainly
seems like it should. (I’m also curious about why you
used IO::Socket stuff instead of just using the
Net::SMTP module.) Anyway, since I’ve actually already
written a part of the code (for the moment since I'm
on a time crunch for this project I'm working on I
only coded the particular SMTP AUTH method that my
SMTP server is using), and since you mention that
"Feature requests which include an offer to actually
do the work are also appreciated," I'm here for you.
Let me know what I need to do.

Regards,
Todd Greene
