Net::SMTP::TLS is a TLS and AUTH capable SMTP client which offers an interface that users will find familiar from Net::SMTP. Net::SMTP::TLS implements a subset of the methods provided by that module, but certainly not (yet) a complete mirror image of that API.

The methods supported by Net::SMTP::TLS are used in the above example. Though self explanatory for the most part, please see the perldoc for Net::SMTP if you are unclear.

The differences in the methods provided are as follows:
The mail method does not take the options list taken by Net::SMTP
The to method also does not take options, and is the only method available to set the recipient (unlike the many synonyms provided by Net::SMTP).
The constructor takes a limited number of Net::SMTPs parameters. The constructor for Net::SMTP::TLS takes the following (in addition to the hostname of the mail server, which must be the first parameter and is not explicitly named):

NoTLS - In the unlikely event that you need to use this class to perform non-TLS SMTP (you ought to be using Net::SMTP itself for that...), this will turn off TLS when supplied with a true value. This will most often cause an error related to authentication when used on a server that requires TLS
Hello - hostname used in the EHLO command
Port - port to connect to the SMTP service (defaults to 25)
Timeout - Timeout for inital socket connection (defaults to 5, passed directly to IO::Socket::INET)
User - username for SMTP AUTH
Password - password for SMTP AUTH

MailGoose is an off-line mailer package for people who use nail, PINE, elm, Emacs mail mode, or other simple email software. It is particularly useful for laptop users.
You can browse the URLs of your mail spool, mbox, or copy of an email message, create an offline draft reply of an email message, edit your drafts in your favorite editor, create a new
message, or send all pending drafts.
Think of MailGoose as the useful bells and whistles of the big email clients made available to the discriminating console-mode hacker.
Enhancements:
- Documentation and install fixes.

ASNMTAP::Asnmtap::Plugins::Mail is a Perl module that provides Mail functions used by ASNMTAP-based plugins.

SYNOPSIS

use ASNMTAP::Asnmtap::Plugins::Mail;

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.
