I recently purchased a new computer, it comes with Vista.
I have set up WindowMail as client in my computer to link with Gmail. It works fine.

Then I started to write some Perl/HTML scripts with Mail::Sendmail, however, I cannot find any test mail reaching my target gmail account. I think my problem is to set the right smtp path.

I checked my WindowMail setup, I have outgoing mail(SMTP) as
smtp.gmail.com.

So I used smtp.gmail.com in my Mail::sendmail Perl script as:

use strict;
use Mail::Sendmail;

my $to_list = '#*$!xx@gmail.com';
my $cc_list = '#*$!xx@gmail.com';
my $email = "\n\nThis email was generated automatically.\n";
my $MailFrom = '#*$!xx@gmail.com';
my $subject = "hello test";
my $message = "module test";

sendmail( Smtp => 'smtp.gmail.com', From => $MailFrom, To =>
$to_list,
Cc => $cc_list, Subject => $subject, Message => $message,);

where #*$!x is my gmail email account address.

There is no error message when I executed this, but I checked my gmail account and there is no email reaching there.

I have copied the Sendmail.pm from CPAN to my c:\Perl\site\lib\Mail,
I tested this setup and it should work. When I rename this Sendmail.pm, my Perl script errors out.

My computer is hooked to Verizon internet service, I do not have any
Domain setup. My internet connection is just a regular home
connection.

Actually I have no clue what is wrong, my guess is just the smtp
setting. How do I find out what smtp path should I use. Or any other
problem anyone can thinking of.
