Hi Perl Maintainers,
If you want to use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP as a transport for
Email::Sender, and need to use authentication to login to your SMTP
server (which is hopefully the default), you get an error message that
you need the two modules MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL:
| failed AUTH: Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL todo auth
|
| Trace begun at /usr/share/perl5/Email/Sender/Transport/SMTP.pm line 91
| Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::_throw('Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP=HASH(0x21a7f98)', 'failed AUTH', 'Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x251d6d8)') called at /usr/share/perl5/Email/Sender/Transport/SMTP.pm line 69
| Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::_smtp_client('Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP=HASH(0x21a7f98)') called at /usr/share/perl5/Email/Sender/Transport/SMTP.pm line 100
[...]
As MIME::Base64 is contained in the 'perl' package itself, that leaves
Authen::SASL from the libauthen-sasl-perl package.
After installing that package, authenticating to the SMTP server succeeds.
Please add libauthen-sasl-perl either as a Recomends: or a Suggested: to the
libemail-sender-perl package!
yours,
youam
