Email::Send::SMTP(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Send::SMTP(3)NAMEEmail::Send::SMTP - Send Messages using SMTP
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Send;
my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'SMTP'});
$mailer->mailer_args([Host => 'smtp.example.com:465', ssl => 1])
if $USE_SSL;
$mailer->send($message);
DESCRIPTION
This mailer for "Email::Send" uses "Net::SMTP" to send a message with
an SMTP server. The first invocation of "send" requires an SMTP server
arguments. Subsequent calls will remember the the first setting until
it is reset.
Any arguments passed to "send" will be passed to "Net::SMTP->new()",
with some exceptions. "username" and "password", if passed, are used to
invoke "Net::SMTP->auth()" for SASL authentication support. "ssl", if
set to true, turns on SSL support by using "Net::SMTP::SSL".
SMTP can fail for a number of reasons. All return values from this
package are true or false. If false, sending has failed. If true, send
succeeded. The return values are "Return::Value" objects, however, and
contain more information on just what went wrong.
Here is an example of dealing with failure.
my $return = send SMTP => $message, 'localhost';
die "$return" if ! $return;
The stringified version of the return value will have the text of the
error. In a conditional, a failure will evaluate to false.
Here's an example of dealing with success. It is the case that some
email addresses may not succeed but others will. In this case, the
return value's "bad" property is set to a list of bad addresses.
my $return = send SMTP => $message, 'localhost';
if ( $return ) {
my @bad = @{ $return->prop('bad') };
warn "Failed to send to: " . join ', ', @bad
if @bad;
}
For more information on these return values, see Return::Value.
ENVELOPE GENERATION
The envelope sender and recipients are, by default, generated by
looking at the From, To, Cc, and Bcc headers. This behavior can be
modified by replacing the "get_env_sender" and "get_env_recipients"
methods, both of which receive the Email::Simple object and their only
parameter, and return email addresses.
