+=head1 TROUBLESHOOTING
+
+As with most things computer related, things break. Email even more so.
+Typically any errors are going to come from using SMTP as your sending method,
+which means that if you are having trouble the first place to look is at
+L<Email::Send::SMTP>. This module is just a wrapper for L<Email::Send>,
+so if you get an error on sending, it is likely from there anyway.
+
+If you are using SMTP and have troubles sending, whether it is authentication
+or a very bland "Can't send" message, make sure that you have L<Net::SMTP> and,
+if applicable, L<Net::SMTP::SSL> installed.
+
+It is very simple to check that you can connect via L<Net::SMTP>, and if you
+do have sending errors the first thing to do is to write a simple script
+that attempts to connect. If it works, it is probably something in your
+configuration so double check there. If it doesn't, well, keep modifying
+the script and/or your mail server configuration until it does!
