program
INHERITANCEMail::Transport::Sendmail
is a Mail::Transport::Send
is a Mail::Transport
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
my $sender = Mail::Transport::Sendmail->new(...);
$sender->send($message);
DESCRIPTION
Implements mail transport using the external 'Sendmail' program. When
instantiated, the mailer will look for the binary in specific system
directories, and the first version found is taken.
Some people use Postfix as MTA. Postfix can be installed as
replacement for Sendmail: is provides a program with the same name and
options. So, this module supports postfix as well.

Add to the command-line of the started sendmail MTU a list of
separate words. So say " [ '-f', $file ] " and not " [ "-f
$file" ] ", because the latter will be taken by sendmail as one
word only.

DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Errors when closing sendmail mailer $program: $!
The was no problem starting the sendmail mail transfer agent, but
for some specific reason the message could not be handled
correctly.
Warning: Message has no destination
It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to
go to.
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
not implement this method where it should. This message means that
some other related classes do implement this method however the
class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
probably inform the author of the package.
Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance
created with Mail::Message::bounce()), and therefore starts with a
"Received" header field. With the "bounce", the new destination(s)
of the message are given, which should be included as "Resent-To",
"Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".
The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no
"Received" was found. That seems to be the best explanation of the
RFC.
As alternative, you may also specify the "to" option to some of the
senders (for instance Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to) to overrule
any information found in the message itself about the destination.
