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

   Constructors

             via            Mail::Transport  'smtp'

           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] )
           Inherited, see "Server connection" in Mail::Transport

       $obj->remoteHost()
           Inherited, see "Server connection" in Mail::Transport

       $obj->retry()
           Inherited, see "Server connection" in Mail::Transport

       $obj->tryConnectTo($host, %options)
           Try to establish a connection to deliver SMTP to the specified $host.  The %options
           are passed to the "new" method of Net::SMTP.

   Error handling
       Extends "Error handling" in Mail::Transport::Send.

       $obj->AUTOLOAD()
           Inherited, see "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter

           Inherited, see "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter

       $obj->defaultTrace( [$level]|[$loglevel, $tracelevel]|[$level, $callback] )
       Mail::Transport::SMTP->defaultTrace( [$level]|[$loglevel, $tracelevel]|[$level, $callback]
       )
           Inherited, see "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter

       $obj->errors()
           Inherited, see "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter

       $obj->log( [$level, [$strings]] )
       Mail::Transport::SMTP->log( [$level, [$strings]] )
           Inherited, see "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter

       $obj->logPriority($level)
       Mail::Transport::SMTP->logPriority($level)

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.
