Dada Mail Mailing Lists: [dadadev] Fwd: SMTP Authentication

I am using Dada one one host with the SMTP server on another.  Recently, messages have been disappearing instead of getting sent.  I went to investigate and when I tested my SMTP settings, I got the following error message:

[Tue Jun 23 00:22:21 2009] mail.cgi: Problems sending via SMTP: Can't call method "auth" on an undefined value at /DADA/Mail/Send.pm line 452.
[Tue Jun 23 00:22:21 2009] mail.cgi:  at /home/public/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi line 2696

I had a look at those lines of code but I am not (yet) familiar enough with Perl in general and Dada in particular to figure out the problem.

Here are my settings (The non-sensitive ones):
Using SMTP Authentication (SASL) 
Type: PLAIN
Set the Sender of SMTP Mailings to the List Administration Address: ON
Only use one SMTP connection per batch: OFF
I asked my host what authentication types are supported and the answer was "PLAIN, LOGIN, and POP-Before-SMTP".  I know that the server, port, username, and password are correct because I can use other email programs to send mail.

If anyone has any idea, I would appreciate some help.

Thank You,
Moshe

    This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -

    If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:

    http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards

    To post to this list, send a message to:

    All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.

    Some on topic... topics include:

    • Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
    • Bug/Error reports
    • Bug fixes
    • Request For Comments on any changes to the program
    • Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
    • Patches
    • Language Translations
    • Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
    • Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -

    At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

    Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:

    http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/

    Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.

    Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.

    NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
