use Mail::Sendmail;

I am most puzzled as to why my mail delivery does not work. There is surely something simple I have not done - as the entirity of the rest of the Courier world must have this working!

Take a trace of the SMTP conversation.

I had this problem a few weeks ago - it seems to be connected with the Perl Mail::SendMail CPAN module. I solved it by not using it to send email.

That's what he said: he used Mail::SendMail.

But it would be good to solve this. So how does one take a trace of the SMTP conversation? tcpdump produces a very hard to read display - is there something better?

strace. He produced Mail::SendMail's strace.

That module is broken. I don't know what that module thinks it's trying to do, but what it's actually doing bears very little resemblance with SMTP.
