SMTP From field using MIME::Lite

[Paul Harwood]

I wrote the following code:

MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "mail.myserver.com", Timeout=>60);

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>"administrator\@myserver.com",
To =>'user@company.org',
Subject =>"TEST",
Data =>"TEST",

);

$msg->send;


I want to have a display name present in the "From" field. In other
words, I would like the 'From' field to read:

Reporting Agent <administrator@myserver.com>

I can't seem to do this no matter what I try. Can I do this with
MIME::Lite?

Your code is correct. I would write the from as
'administrator@myserver.com' to avoid esaping the @.
What do you get back when this is sent? This is a text only message
correct?

Here are some examples from the docs...

Create a simple message containing just text
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'me@myhost.com',
To =>'you@yourhost.com',
Cc =>'some@other.com, [email]some@more.com[/email]',
Subject =>'Helloooooo, nurse!',
Data =>"How's it goin', eh?"
);

Create a simple message containing just an image
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'me@myhost.com',
To =>'you@yourhost.com',
Cc =>'some@other.com, [email]some@more.com[/email]',
Subject =>'Helloooooo, nurse!',
Type =>'image/gif',
Encoding =>'base64',
Path =>'hellonurse.gif'
);

Create a multipart message
### Create the multipart "container":
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'me@myhost.com',
To =>'you@yourhost.com',
Cc =>'some@other.com, [email]some@more.com[/email]',
Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
);

### Add the text message part:
### (Note that "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
$msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT',
Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
);

### Add the image part:
$msg->attach(Type =>'image/gif',
Path =>'aaa000123.gif',
Filename =>'logo.gif',
Disposition => 'attachment'
);

I want to be able to add a display name as well. For example: Paul
Harwood instead of the SMTP address.

This code works for me
-----
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => '"Paul Kraus" [email]pkraus@pelsupply.com[/email]',
To => 'pkraus@pelsupply.com',
Subject => 'RE:SMTP From field using MIME::Lite - Test Send',
Data => 'This message sent with mime lite'
);
MIME::Lite -> send ('smtp','my.mailserver.com' );
$msg -> send;

It might be my mail server settings. I am using Exchange Server 2003.


SMTP MAIL command failed:
5.5.4 Invalid Address

I will check into this more.
