I use Net::SMTP::SSL to sent email in Perl, and got "454 Error: authentication failed"
Here is my code:
use Net::SMTP::SSL;
$smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new($smtp2, Port => $smtp_port2, Timeout => 10, Debug => 1);
$smtp->auth($login2, $password2);
$smtp->mail($login2);
$smtp->to($to);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: $to\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: Aspiring error email \n");
$smtp->datasend("Date: $today\n");
$smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend($message);
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
And i got these message:
Net::SMTP::SSL=GLOB(0xf9ab80)<<< 454 Error: authentication failed, system busy
It seem i failed to auth, and i am sure the username and pw is correct.
Thanks so much!!!
454 Error: authentication failed, system busy
These are temporary problems.
The mail server is probably not doing local verification of the password, but is using an external system like a Radius or LDAP server, and the connection to this authentication system failed. Just try again later and hope that the problem got resolved.
If the credentials were wrong the server would have send a 535 status code.
See also the status codes in RFC4954.

I am currently trying to connect to a gmail inbox using Perl and
Net::IMAP::Client
with the following code
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::IMAP::Client;
my $user = '[address]#gmail.com';
my $pwd = '[password]';
my $imap = Net::IMAP::Client->new(
server => 'imap.gmail.com',
user => $user,
pass => $pwd,
ssl => 1, # (use SSL? default no)
ssl_verify_peer => 0, # (use ca to verify server, default yes)
port => 993 # (but defaults are sane)
) or die "Could not connect to IMAP server: $_";
$imap->login or
die('Login failed: ' . $imap->last_error)
But the $imap variable is undef and I am getting this error:
Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation (.) or string at testIMAP.pl line 9.
Could not connect to IMAP server: at testIMAP.pl line 9.
I have successfully connected to the mailbox using Outlook, but as I'm not getting an error message I'm not sure where to look. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
A big thanks to zdim for help troubleshooting.
Firstly, zdim pointed out that I had the incorrect error variable. $_ should have been $!
This revealed the error message "Network is unreachable", however I was able to pint and telnet to 'imap.gmail.com' successfully.
The solution to this was found here
Perl IO::Socket::SSL: connect: Network is unreachable .
Changing the use statement in the Net::IMAP::Client module to the following worked:
use IO::Socket::SSL 'inet4';
After this, the connection was established, but the login would fail with
Login failed: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 (Failure)
This is due to Gmail's security features. I received an email that allowed me to confirm that the connection was not malicious, and then subsequent logins were successful.
For others, there may be a few solutions to this last one. You may need to issue an 'app password' If two-step authentication is activated, or you might need to toggle on 'allow less secure apps'
I am trying to use the Mail::Sendmail package to send a mail. Yet I am getting this error:
MAIL FROM: error (530 5.7.57 SMTP; Client was not authenticated to
send anonymous mail during MAIL FROM)
I suspect this has something to do with my santaclaus#christmas.com mail ?
use Mail::Sendmail qw(sendmail %mailcfg);
unshift #{$Mail::Sendmail::mailcfg{'smtp'}} , 'smtp.office365.com:587';
%mail = ( To => 'existingmail#outlook.com',
From => 'santaclaus#christmas.com',
Message => "Time for surprises and gifts is approaching..."
);
sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;
print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;
It seems that smtp.office365.com requires SMTP AUTH command (SMTP Authentication) to accept email for sending.
Mail::Sendmail DOES NOT support SMTP authentication.

I've try to send mail using perl with attachment I've tried with Email::Stuff and MIME::Lite,during run time i got some error as Authentication failed or server not connected can anybody help me?
corresponding code is:
use MIME::Lite;
use Net::SMTP;
### Adjust sender, recipient and your SMTP mailhost
my $from_address = 'atme04#gmail.com';
my $to_address = 'thiyagu040#gmail.com';
my $mail_host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
### Adjust subject and body message
my $subject = 'A message with 2 parts ...';
my $message_body = "Here's the attachment file(s) you wanted";
my $your_file_zip = 'my.zip';
$msg = MIME::Lite->new (
From => $from_address,
To => $to_address,
Subject => $subject,
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
) or die "Error creating multipart container: $!\n";
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', 'smtp.gmail.com' ,

#MIME::Lite->send('smtp',$mail_host,AuthUser=> $from_address, AuthPass=>"apssword");
$msg->send();
error message is;
SMTP Failed to connect to mail server: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond aft
er a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
at mail.pl line 54.
thanks in advance
The error message seems pretty clear to me. The problem is with your connection to the mail server - so changing the module that you're using is unlikely to achieve anything useful. I don't know enough about Gmail's server settings to comment on what the problem is, but this page has some suggestions that you might follow. Specifically, you could check that the Gmail account has 'allow authentication' turned on and that your mail client (the Perl program) is using SSL for the connection.
Also, this might be easier if you used an email that was specifically designed for use with Gmail. Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail looks tailor-made for your requirements.
I have set email settings using gmail from my localhost successfully and my sugar instance is sending test mail well. I also done with cron job setup and tested it.
The problem occurs when i try to send email in a cron job it cannot be send. My basic code i am using is
require_once('include/SugarPHPMailer.php');
$emailObj = new Email();
$defaults = $emailObj->getSystemDefaultEmail();
$mail = new SugarPHPMailer();
$mail->setMailerForSystem();
$mail->From = $defaults['email'];
$mail->FromName = $defaults['name'];
$mail->Subject=from_html($bean->name);
$mail->Body="hello this is testing ....!";
$mail->prepForOutbound();
$mail->AddAddress('abc#yahoo.com');
#$mail->Send();
The following errors displayed in fatal log .

I'm using Grails Mail plugin and trying to send email and keep getting:
Error 500: Executing action [sendInvite] of controller
[RegisterController] caused exception: Failed messages:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception
is: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 must be
authenticated
I'm properly following the instructions at: http://www.grails.org/Mail+plugin
The mail server is returning an error when you try to send out the mail. 550 is a generic SMTP failure code; in this case it looks like you are missing a username and password. Some SMTP servers to not require authentication but most do, especially if they're publicly available on the internet. It's also possible that your SMTP server requires an SSL connection and you're connecting with an unsecured socket.
The example config for gmail shows how to set all the mail server authentication options in Config.groovy:
grails {
mail {
host = "smtp.gmail.com"
port = 465
username = "youracount#gmail.com"
password = "yourpassword"
props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"]
}
}
Add "mail.debug": "true" to props to turn on JavaMail debugging to get a better picture of what is happening before the failure.
In my case the 550 error was caused by me having accidentally selected and IMAP account as the default account but sending emails from my Outlook Connector Account (which has no authentication settings to make).
I changed the Outlook Connector Account to default. Resent the emails and no errors.
So check that the correct email account is set up as the default also
