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.

  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

    as AutoLoaded methods
