Mail::Transport::Sendmail - transmit messages using external Sendmail program
Mail::Transport::Sendmail is a Mail::Transport::Send is a Mail::Transport is a Mail::Reporter
my $sender = Mail::Transport::Sendmail->new(...); $sender->send($message);
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.

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.
