Unfortunately neither am I.

Aha. I turned on debugging in Net::SMTP and found:

Net::SMTP: Net::SMTP(2.15)
Net::SMTP:   Net::Cmd(2.18)
Net::SMTP:     Exporter
Net::SMTP:   IO::Socket::INET
Net::SMTP:     IO::Socket(1.1603)
Net::SMTP:       IO::Handle(1.1505)

Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)<<< 220

Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)<<< 250 smtp.domain.com Hello

Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)>>> RCPT TO:<>
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)<<< 501 <>: missing or malformed local part
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)>>> DATA

Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)>>> 
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x8223aa4)>>> Testing!

... and that's it. What is happening to the TO: address? I don't know!
Something is not being passed right between Mail::Mailer and Net::SMTP as
far as I can tell.

Even if I put the To above the From in my Mail::Mailer %headers, the TO
never comes through. 

Doing a little digging now to see what I can fix...
