NAME

       Net::SMTPS - SSL/STARTTLS support for Net::SMTP

SYNOPSYS

           use Net::SMTPS;

           my $ssl = 'starttls';   # 'ssl' / 'starttls' / undef

           my $smtp = Net::SMTPS->new("smtp.example.com", Port => 587, doSSL => $ssl);

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a wrapper for Net::SMTP, enabling over-SSL/STARTTLS support.  This
       module inherits most of all the methods from Net::SMTP(2.X). You may use all the friendly
       options that came bundled with Net::SMTP.  You can control the SSL usage with the options
       of new() constructor method.  'doSSL' option is the switch, and, If you would like to
       control detailed SSL settings, you can set SSL_* options that are brought from
       IO::Socket::SSL. Please see the document of IO::Socket::SSL about these options detail.

       Just one method difference from the Net::SMTP, you can select SMTP AUTH mechanism as the
       third option of auth() method.

       As of Version 3.10 of Net::SMTP(libnet) includes SSL/STARTTLS capabilities, so this
       wrapper module's significance disappareing.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new ( [ HOST ] [, OPTIONS ] )
           A few options added to Net::SMTP(2.X).

           doSSL { "ssl" | "starttls" | undef } - to specify SSL connection type.  "ssl" makes
           connection wrapped with SSL, "starttls" uses SMTP command "STARTTLS".

METHODS

       Most of all methods of Net::SMTP are inherited as is, except auth().

       auth ( USERNAME, PASSWORD [, AUTHMETHOD])
           Attempt SASL authentication through Authen::SASL module. AUTHMETHOD is your required
           method of authentication, like 'CRAM-MD5', 'LOGIN', ... etc. If your selection does
           not match the server-offerred AUTH mechanism, authentication negotiation may fail.

       starttls ( SSLARGS )
           Upgrade existing plain connection to SSL.

BUGS

       Constructor option 'Debug => (N)' (for Net::Cmd) also sets $IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG when
       SSL is enabled. You can set 'Debug_SSL => {0-3}' separately.
