Mail::Sendmail 0.79

Mail::Sendmail is a simple platform independent mailer.
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Sendmail;
%mail = ( To => you@there.com,
From => me@here.com,
Message => "This is a very short message"
);
sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;
print "OK. Log says:n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;
Simple platform independent e-mail from your perl script. Only requires Perl 5 and a network connection.
Mail::Sendmail contains mainly &sendmail, which takes a hash with the message to send and sends it. It is intended to be very easy to setup and use.
Main features:
- Automatic time zone detection, Date: header, MIME quoted-printable encoding (if MIME::QuotedPrint installed), all of which can be overridden.
- Bcc: and Cc: support.
- Allows real names in From:, To: and Cc: fields
- Doesnt send an X-Mailer: header (unless you do), and allows you to send any header(s) you want.
- Configurable retries and use of alternate servers if your mail server is down
- Good plain text error reporting
Version restrictions:
- Headers are not encoded, even if they have accented characters.
- No suport for the SMTP AUTH extension.
- Since the whole message is in memory, its not suitable for sending very big attached files.
- The SMTP server has to be set manually in Sendmail.pm or in your script, unless you have a mail server on localhost.
- Doesnt work on OpenVMS, I was told. Cannot test this myself.
