DESCRIPTION

19       Implements mail transport using the external 'Exim' program.  When
20       instantiated, the mailer will look for the binary in specific system
21       directories, and the first version found is taken.

DIAGNOSTICS

139       Error: Errors when closing Exim mailer $program: $!
140           The Exim mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle
141           the message correctly.
142
143       Warning: Message has no destination
144           It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to
145           go to.
146
147       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
148           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
149           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
150           some other related classes do implement this method however the
151           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
152           probably inform the author of the package.
153
154       Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
155           The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance
156           created with Mail::Message::bounce()), and therefore starts with a
157           "Received" header field.  With the "bounce", the new destination(s)
158           of the message are given, which should be included as "Resent-To",
159           "Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".
160
161           The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no
162           "Received" was found.  That seems to be the best explanation of the
163           RFC.
164
165           As alternative, you may also specify the "to" option to some of the
166           senders (for instance Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to) to overrule
167           any information found in the message itself about the destination.
