Good afternoon, I configured the Email.pm file to be able to send emails using a gmail account. The configuration is as follows: sub send_mail_via_smtp { my( %p ) = @_; eval 'use Net::SMTP::TLS'; my $repository = $p{session}->get_repository; my $smtphost = $repository->get_conf( 'smtp_server' ); ##my $smtphost = 'smtp.gmail.com'; if( !defined $smtphost ) { $repository->log( "No STMP host has been defined. To fix this, find the full\naddress of your SMTP server (eg. smtp.example.com) and add it\nas the value of smtp_server in\nperl_lib/EPrints/SystemSettings.pm" ); return( 0 ); } my $smtp = new Net::SMTP::TLS ( $smtphost, Hello => 'eprints-server.on-linux.org', Port => 587, User => 'eprints-server@gmail.com', Password=> 'gmail_password', ); # my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $smtphost); if( !defined $smtp ) { $repository->log( "Failed to create smtp connection to $smtphost" ); return( 0 ); } $smtp->mail( $p{from_email} ); $smtp->to( $p{to_email} ); # if( !$smtp->recipient( $p{to_email} ) ) # { # $repository->log( "smtp server refused <$p{to_email}>" ); # $smtp->quit; # return 0; # } my $message = build_email( %p ); my $data = $message->as_string; # Send the message as bytes, to avoid Net::Cmd wide-character warnings utf8::encode($data); $smtp->data; $smtp->datasend( $data ); $smtp->dataend; $smtp->quit; return 1; I also edited the following line in $Eprints3PATH/perl_lib/EPrint/SystemSettings.pm .... 'smtp_server' => 'smtp.gmail.com', .... Am getting this error from the browser when attempting to send test mail: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::SMTP::TLS" (perhaps you forgot to load "Net::SMTP::TLS"?) at /usr/share/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Email.pm line 170. Why is this? How do I send emails using a gmail account? Thanks. Ernesto
