NAME

       Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP - send email over SMTP

VERSION

       version 2.500

DESCRIPTION

       This transport is used to send email over SMTP, either with or without secure sockets
       (SSL/TLS).  It is one of the most complex transports available, capable of partial
       success.

       For a potentially more efficient version of this transport, see
       Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::Persistent.

PERL VERSION

       This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It should work on any
       version of perl released in the last five years.

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

       The following attributes may be passed to the constructor:

       "hosts": an arrayref of names of the host to try, in order; defaults to a single element
       array containing "localhost"
           The attribute "host" may be given, instead, which contains a single hostname.

       "ssl": if 'starttls', use STARTTLS; if 'ssl' (or 1), connect securely; if 'maybestarttls',
       use STARTTLS if available; otherwise, no security
       "ssl_options": passed to Net::SMTP constructor for 'ssl' connections or to starttls for
       'starttls' or 'maybestarttls' connections; should contain extra options for
       IO::Socket::SSL
       "port": port to connect to; defaults to 25 for non-SSL, 465 for 'ssl', 587 for 'starttls'
       "timeout": maximum time in secs to wait for server; default is 120
       "sasl_username": the username to use for auth; optional
       "sasl_password": the password to use for auth; required if "sasl_username" is provided
       "allow_partial_success": if true, will send data even if some recipients were rejected;
       defaults to false
       "helo": what to say when saying HELO; no default
       "localaddr": local address from which to connect
       "localport": local port from which to connect
       "debug": if true, put the Net::SMTP object in debug mode

PARTIAL SUCCESS

       If "allow_partial_success" was set when creating the transport, the transport may return
       Email::Sender::Success::Partial objects.  Consult that module's documentation.
