NAME
Mail::Transport::SMTP - transmit messages without external program
INHERITANCE
Mail::Transport::SMTP
is a Mail::Transport::Send
is a Mail::Transport
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
my $sender = Mail::Transport::SMTP->new(...);
$sender->send($message);
$message->send(via => 'smtp');
DESCRIPTION
This module implements transport of "Mail::Message" objects by negotiating to the
destination host directly by using the SMTP protocol, without help of "sendmail", "mail",
or other programs on the local host.
warning: you may need to install Net::SMTPS, to get TLS support.
Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Transport::Send.
METHODS
Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Transport::Send.

esmtp_options => HASH
[2.116] ESMTP options to pass to Net::SMTP. See the Net::SMTP documentation for
full details. Options can also be passed at send time. For example: "{ XVERP => 1
}"
executable => FILENAME
from => ADDRESS
Allows a default sender address to be specified globally. See trySend() for full
details.
helo => HOST
The fully qualified name of the sender's host (your system) which is used for the
greeting message to the receiver. If not specified, Net::Config or else Net::Domain
are questioned to find it. When even these do not supply a valid name, the name of
the domain in the "From" line of the message is assumed.
hostname => HOSTNAME|ARRAY
interval => SECONDS
log => LEVEL
password => STRING
The password to be used with the new(username) to log in to the remote server.
port => INTEGER
proxy => PATH
retry => NUMBER|undef
smtp_debug => BOOLEAN
Simulate transmission: the SMTP protocol output will be sent to your screen.
timeout => SECONDS
The number of seconds to wait for a valid response from the server before failing.
trace => LEVEL
username => STRING
Use SASL authentication to contact the remote SMTP server (RFC2554). This username
in combination with new(password) is passed as arguments to Net::SMTP method auth.
Other forms of authentication are not supported by Net::SMTP. The "username" can
also be specified as an Authen::SASL object.
via => CLASS|NAME
Sending mail
Extends "Sending mail" in Mail::Transport::Send.
$obj->destinations( $message, [$address|ARRAY] )
Inherited, see "Sending mail" in Mail::Transport::Send
$obj->putContent($message, $fh, %options)
Inherited, see "Sending mail" in Mail::Transport::Send
$obj->send($message, %options)
Inherited, see "Sending mail" in Mail::Transport::Send
$obj->trySend($message, %options)
Try to send the $message once. This may fail, in which case this method will return
"false". In list context, the reason for failure can be caught: in list context
"trySend" will return a list of five values:
(success, error code, error text, error location, quit success)
Success and quit success are booleans. The error code and -text are protocol specific
codes and texts. The location tells where the problem occurred.
-Option --Default
esmtp_options {}
from < >
to []
esmtp_options => HASH
Additional or overridden EMSTP options. See new(esmtp_options)
from => ADDRESS
Your own identification. This may be fake. If not specified, it is taken from
Mail::Message::sender(), which means the content of the "Sender" field of the
message or the first address of the "From" field. This defaults to "< >", which
represents "no address".
to => ADDRESS|[ADDRESSES]
Alternative destinations. If not specified, the "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" fields of the
header are used. An address is a string or a Mail::Address object.
Server connection
Extends "Server connection" in Mail::Transport::Send.
$obj->contactAnyServer()
Creates the connection to the SMTP server. When more than one hostname was specified,
the first which accepts a connection is taken. An IO::Socket::INET object is
returned.
$obj->findBinary( $name, [@directories] )

$obj->tryConnectTo($host, %options)

are passed to the "new" method of Net::SMTP.

DIAGNOSTICS
Warning: Message has no destination
It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to go to.
Notice: No addresses found to send the message to, no connection made
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should
investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance created with
Mail::Message::bounce()), and therefore starts with a "Received" header field. With
the "bounce", the new destination(s) of the message are given, which should be
included as "Resent-To", "Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".
The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no "Received" was found.
That seems to be the best explanation of the RFC.
As alternative, you may also specify the "to" option to some of the senders (for
instance Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to) to overrule any information found in the
message itself about the destination.
