6 Email::Send::SMTP - Send Messages using SMTP
7
9 use Email::Send;
10
11 my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'SMTP'});
12
13 $mailer->mailer_args([Host => 'smtp.example.com:465', ssl => 1])
14 if $USE_SSL;
15
16 $mailer->send($message);
17
19 This mailer for "Email::Send" uses "Net::SMTP" to send a message with
20 an SMTP server. The first invocation of "send" requires an SMTP server
21 arguments. Subsequent calls will remember the first setting until it is
22 reset.
23
24 Any arguments passed to "send" will be passed to "Net::SMTP->new()",
25 with some exceptions. "username" and "password", if passed, are used to
26 invoke "Net::SMTP->auth()" for SASL authentication support. "ssl", if
27 set to true, turns on SSL support by using "Net::SMTP::SSL".
28
29 SMTP can fail for a number of reasons. All return values from this
30 package are true or false. If false, sending has failed. If true, send
31 succeeded. The return values are "Return::Value" objects, however, and
32 contain more information on just what went wrong.
33
34 Here is an example of dealing with failure.
35
36 my $return = send SMTP => $message, 'localhost';
37
38 die "$return" if ! $return;
39
40 The stringified version of the return value will have the text of the
41 error. In a conditional, a failure will evaluate to false.
42
43 Here's an example of dealing with success. It is the case that some
44 email addresses may not succeed but others will. In this case, the
45 return value's "bad" property is set to a list of bad addresses.
46
47 my $return = send SMTP => $message, 'localhost';
48
49 if ( $return ) {
50 my @bad = @{ $return->prop('bad') };
51 warn "Failed to send to: " . join ', ', @bad
52 if @bad;
53 }
54
55 For more information on these return values, see Return::Value.

57 ENVELOPE GENERATION
58 The envelope sender and recipients are, by default, generated by
59 looking at the From, To, Cc, and Bcc headers. This behavior can be
60 modified by replacing the "get_env_sender" and "get_env_recipients"
61 methods, both of which receive the Email::Simple object and their only
62 parameter, and return email addresses.
