Mail::Transport::SMTP - transmit messages without external program
Mail::Transport::SMTP is a Mail::Transport::Send is a Mail::Transport is a Mail::Reporter
my $sender = Mail::Transport::SMTP->new(...); $sender->send($message);
$message->send(via => 'smtp');
This module implements transport of Mail::Message
objects by negotiating
to the destination host directly by using the SMTP protocol, without help of
sendmail
, mail
, or other programs on the local host.
Mail::Transport::SMTP->new(OPTIONS)
Option Defined in Default executable L<Mail::Transport> C<undef> helo <from Net::Config> hostname L<Mail::Transport> <from Net::Config> interval L<Mail::Transport> C<30> log L<Mail::Reporter> C<'WARNINGS'> password undef port L<Mail::Transport> C<25> proxy L<Mail::Transport> <from Net::Config> retry L<Mail::Transport> <false> smtp_debug <false> timeout 120 trace L<Mail::Reporter> C<'WARNINGS'> username undef via L<Mail::Transport> C<'smtp'>
. executable FILENAME
. helo HOST
The fully qualified name of the sender's host (your system) which
is used for the greeting message to the receiver. If not specified,
Net::Config or else Net::Domain are questioned to find it.
When even these do not supply a valid name, the name of the domain in the
From
line of the message is assumed.
. hostname HOSTNAME|ARRAY-OF-HOSTNAMES
. interval SECONDS
. log LEVEL
. password STRING
The password to be used with the new(username)
to log in to the remote
server.
. port INTEGER
. proxy PATH
. retry NUMBER|undef
. smtp_debug BOOLEAN
Simulate transmission: the SMTP protocol output will be sent to your screen.
. timeout SECONDS
The number of seconds to wait for a valid response from the server before failing.
. trace LEVEL
. username STRING
Use SASL authentication to contact the remote SMTP server (RFC2554).
This username in combination with new(password)
is passed as arguments
to Net::SMTP method auth. Other forms of authentication are not
supported by Net::SMTP. The username
can also be specified as an
Authen::SASL object.

$obj->destinations(MESSAGE, [ADDRESS|ARRAY-OF-ADDRESSES])
See Sending mail in the Mail::Transport::Send manpage
$obj->putContent(MESSAGE, FILEHANDLE, OPTIONS)
See Sending mail in the Mail::Transport::Send manpage
$obj->send(MESSAGE, OPTIONS)
See Sending mail in the Mail::Transport::Send manpage
$obj->trySend(MESSAGE, OPTIONS)
Try to send the MESSAGE once. This may fail, in which case this
method will return false
. In list context, the reason for failure
can be caught: in list context trySend
will return a list of
five values:
(success, error code, error text, error location, quit success)
Success and quit success are booleans. The error code and -text are protocol specific codes and texts. The location tells where the problem occurred.
Option Defined in Default from E<lt> E<gt> to []
. from ADDRESS
Your own identification. This may be fake. If not specified, it is
taken from Mail::Message::sender(), which means the content of the
Sender
field of the message or the first address of the From
field. This defaults to ``< >'', which represents ``no address''.
. to ADDRESS|[ADDRESSES]
Alternative destinations. If not specified, the To
, Cc
and Bcc
fields of the header are used. An address is a string or a Mail::Address
object.
$obj->contactAnyServer
Creates the connection to the SMTP server. When more than one hostname was specified, the first which accepts a connection is taken. An IO::Socket::INET object is returned.
$obj->findBinary(NAME [, DIRECTORIES])
See Server connection in the Mail::Transport manpage
$obj->remoteHost
See Server connection in the Mail::Transport manpage
$obj->retry
See Server connection in the Mail::Transport manpage
$obj->tryConnectTo(HOST, OPTIONS)
Try to establish a connection to deliver SMTP to the specified HOST. The
OPTIONS are passed to the new
method of Net::SMTP.

Warning: Message has no destination
It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to go to.
Notice: No addresses found to send the message to, no connection made
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.
