adding varible to make email address. Can't Post
Hey I neeed to be a Cheeky Badger again.

I having some problem with syntax. I have a varible named $userid which i need to add to an email domain address i.e $userid@somedomain.com, where $userid points to the actual userid i.e lj901 so i can do auto generated email.

Ive been trying things like this $mail->AddReplyTo("$userid\@somedomain.com"); But its not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanx

What type of object is $mail?

Im new to perl and am make some changes to some already existing code. But I think what you are after is this,

$mail = Win32::OLE->new('Persits.MailSender');

Hope it answers your question.

Do you know how I can concantenate a varible with a string to make up the complete email address ?



Cheers

It does. But I'm afraid that I don't know anything about Win32 modules.

What you're doing seems fine to me - the problem is probably not in how you're creating the email address, but how you're passing that to the OLE object. And I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Forget about email object how would you join a varible to the line @something .com ? Like concantenation.

Like I said, you seem to be doing the right thing. Either "$user\@domain.com" or $user . '@domain.com' should work fine.

If it isn't working then it is another part of your code and not that part, or $user is undefined.

This particular script runs on an iis server. this object hacks into the asp mail to send mail.
