Now *this* works.  I didn't realize that the Mail::factory() docs 
mentioned a $backend argument, and even those docs wouldn't have lead me 
to believe I'd get better results by changing it, but just switching to 
'smtp' instead of 'mail' seems to have solved the problem entirely. 
Good call.

Thanks,
Allen
