Subject: Sending mail


I've used MIME::Lite for the mail tasks I've had up till now and it
has worked very well. Now I need to send mail via a different port
than port 25, say port 587. As far as I can tell, MIME::Lite does not
have this capability.

You must have missed something. The $hostname and %options passed in

$mail->send('smtp', $hostname, %options);

are passed to Net::SMTP->new() and one of the available options is
Port. So

$mail->send('smtp', 'hostname', Port => 587);

should work fine. The docs of the Net::* modules generaly leave a lot
to be desired and the Port option is not documented (in Net::SMTP
2.29), but the code accepts it and I think it's very unlikely the
option will go away.
