I think that Mail::Mailer can probably do what you are after, but the current ldirectord code uses Mail::Send, which does not apper to be able to access an SMTP server. With regards to the patch, I think that it might be nice to arrance things such that there are two functions, one whcih contains the existing Mail::Send code, including the call to "use Mail::Send;". One that includes your new code, including any calls to use or require. And have ld_emailalert_send() call one of these functions depending on if $SMTP is set or not. -- Simon Horman VA Linux Systems Japan K.K.
