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

167       Error: Errors when closing Exim mailer $program: $!
168
169       The Exim mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle the
170       message correctly.
171
172       Warning: Message has no destination
173
174       It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to go
175       to.
176
177       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
178
179       Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
180       implement this method where it should. This message means that some
181       other related classes do implement this method however the class at
182       hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably
183       inform the author of the package.
184
185       Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
186
187       The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance cre‐
188       ated with Mail::Message::bounce()), and therefore starts with a
189       "Received" header field.  With the "bounce", the new destination(s) of
190       the message are given, which should be included as "Resent-To",
191       "Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".
192
193       The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no
194       "Received" was found.  That seems to be the best explanation of the
195       RFC.
196
197       As alternative, you may also specify the "to" option to some of the
198       senders (for instance Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to) to overrule any
199       information found in the message itself about the destination.
