Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] Webstar and "we do not relay"

[Axel Rose <rose@sj.com>]

Just an assumption -
SMTP servers should check whether the sender is in a defined domain.
This is to avoid spammers using a mailserver as their "relay".
You have to configure WebStar in such a way that it either neglects
this or have mailserver and sender/recipient in the same domain.

BTW: I just got Mail::Sendmail working. Different from MIME::Lite
or MIME::Tools it can handle the Bcc: field.


Cheers
