Author Send email to microsoft exhange distribution list

I have a small question.

Using Perl, I'd like to send an email to an exchange distribution list. How can it
be done. Is there a module that acts like an outlook client to connect
to the exchange server. I've searched a lot on CPAN but couldn't find
anything. I want to use it from Linux and not Windows.

Would appreciate a lot your help.

Is it not listening to standard SMTP ?

Can you not just send an email to distlist@exchangehost ?

If you can, you have lots and lots and lots of options.

If you can't... I'm not even sure where to start with this...

Please clarify.

Yea, surely that's the easiest way? I don't know if you can do
exchange-like RPC with Perl (probably!) :)
