I have uploaded the latest of the above modules to CPAN

The current list of CPAN servers can be obtained from
   ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/CPAN

Net::SMTP (v1.06) - package for a SMTP client

Changes include:

o Changed to use Socket(v1.3) instead of directly calling pack
o SMTP::new now takes optional parameters after the host
  in for form of a hash. Current parameters are Hello,Debug,Port
o Modified SMTP::new to automatically call hello
o some perl -w cleanups
o Modified SMTP::new() to call croak if IP address of the given host
  cannot be found

Net::Domain (v1.06) - Attempt to locate the name of the current host

 NOTE: This replaces Sys::Domain as it seems to have been decided that
       Sys:: is a bad place to put modules.

MailTools (v1.04) - This distribution contains

 Mail/Address.pm       (v1.06) Manipulation of electronic mail addresses
 Mail/Alias.pm         (v1.02) Read/Write various mail alias file formats

 Mail/Mailer.pm        (v1.05) Simple mail agent interface
 Mail/Send.pm          (v1.03) Simple interface for sending mail
 Mail/Util.pm          (v1.08) Mail related utilities

Changes include:

o  Added Mail::Internet::nntppost and Mail::Internet::smtpsend
   as AutoLoaded methods
o  Some small tweaks to mailaddress()
o  Modified Mail::Util to use Net::Domain
o  Changed name of Mail::RFC822 to Mail::Internet
o  Fixed remove_signature to be anchor'd to the start of the line
