Package: libnet-smtp-ssl-perl
Version: 1.01-2
libnet-smtp-ssl-perl should depend on libauthen-sasl-perl. I wanted to
use Net::SMTP::SSL to send mail; I think the most common reason is
that the mail server requires authentication. Thus you will be using
the auth method. If you check it out, you'll find the following:
sub auth {
my ($self, $username, $password) = @_;
eval {
require MIME::Base64;
require Authen::SASL;
} or $self->set_status(500, ["Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL
todo auth"]), return 0;
There is therefore a dependency on Authen::SASL. If you don't have
that module, sending your email will fail in a non-obvious way:
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)>>> EHLO localhost.localdomain
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250-mx.google.com at your service,
[83.137.100.36]
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250-SIZE 35651584
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250-8BITMIME
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 250 PIPELINING
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)>>> MAIL FROM:<kensan...@gmail.com>
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xa025520)<<< 530-5.5.1 Authentication Required.

As you can see, the module will not send the required AUTH LOGIN
command, and there's no error message telling you why this is
happening.
Installing libauthen-sasl-perl fixes the problem.
