This 549documentation assumes that you are familiar with the concepts of the 550SMTP protocol described in RFC821. 551 552A new Net::SMTP object must be created with the I<new> method. Once 553this has been done, all SMTP commands are accessed through this object. 554 555The Net::SMTP class is a subclass of Net::Cmd and IO::Socket::INET. 556 557=head1 EXAMPLES 558 559This example prints the mail domain name of the SMTP server known as mailhost: 560 561 #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 562 563 use Net::SMTP; 564 565 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost'); 566 print $smtp->domain,"\n"; 567 $smtp->quit; 568 569This example sends a small message to the postmaster at the SMTP server 570known as mailhost: 571 572 #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 573 574 use Net::SMTP; 575 576 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost'); 577 578 $smtp->mail($ENV{USER}); 579 $smtp->to('postmaster'); 580 581 $smtp->data(); 582 $smtp->datasend("To: postmaster\n"); 583 $smtp->datasend("\n"); 584 $smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n"); 585 $smtp->dataend(); 586 587 $smtp->quit; 588 589=head1 CONSTRUCTOR 590 591=over 4 592 593=item new ( [ HOST ] [, OPTIONS ] ) 594 595This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP object. C<HOST> is the 596name of the remote host to which an SMTP connection is required. 597 598C<HOST> is optional. If C<HOST> is not given then it may instead be 599passed as the C<Host> option described below. If neither is given then 600the C<SMTP_Hosts> specified in C<Net::Config> will be used. 601 602C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs. 603Possible options are: 604 605B<Hello> - SMTP requires that you identify yourself. This option 606specifies a string to pass as your mail domain. If not given localhost.localdomain 607will be used. 608 609B<Host> - SMTP host to connect to. It may be a single scalar, as defined for 610the C<PeerAddr> option in L<IO::Socket::INET>, or a reference to 611an array with hosts to try in turn. The L</host> method will return the value 612which was used to connect to the host. 613 614B<LocalAddr> and B<LocalPort> - These parameters are passed directly 615to IO::Socket to allow binding the socket to a local port. 616 617B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the 618SMTP server (default: 120) 619 620B<ExactAddresses> - If true the all ADDRESS arguments must be as 621defined by C<addr-spec> in RFC2822. If not given, or false, then 622Net::SMTP will attempt to extract the address from the value passed. 623 624B<Debug> - Enable debugging information 625 626 627Example: 628 629 630 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost', 631 Hello => 'my.mail.domain' 632 Timeout => 30, 633 Debug => 1, 634 ); 635 636 # the same 637 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( 638 Host => 'mailhost', 639 Hello => 'my.mail.domain' 640 Timeout => 30, 641 Debug => 1, 642 ); 643 644 # Connect to the default server from Net::config 645 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( 646 Hello => 'my.mail.domain' 647 Timeout => 30, 648 ); 649 650=back 651 652=head1 METHODS 653 654Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false> 655value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a method 656states that it returns a value, failure will be returned as I<undef> or an 657empty list. 658 659=over 4 660 661=item banner () 662 663Returns the banner message which the server replied with when the 664initial connection was made. 665 666=item domain () 667 668Returns the domain that the remote SMTP server identified itself as during 669connection. 670 671=item hello ( DOMAIN ) 672 673Tell the remote server the mail domain which you are in using the EHLO 674command (or HELO if EHLO fails). Since this method is invoked 675automatically when the Net::SMTP object is constructed the user should 676normally not have to call it manually. 677 678=item host () 679 680Returns the value used by the constructor, and passed to IO::Socket::INET, 681to connect to the host. 682 683=item etrn ( DOMAIN ) 684 685Request a queue run for the DOMAIN given. 686 687=item auth ( USERNAME, PASSWORD ) 688 689Attempt SASL authentication. 690 691=item mail ( ADDRESS [, OPTIONS] ) 692 693=item send ( ADDRESS ) 694 695=item send_or_mail ( ADDRESS ) 696 697=item send_and_mail ( ADDRESS ) 698 699Send the appropriate command to the server MAIL, SEND, SOML or SAML. C<ADDRESS> 700is the address of the sender. This initiates the sending of a message. The 701method C<recipient> should be called for each address that the message is to 702be sent to. 703 704The C<mail> method can some additional ESMTP OPTIONS which is passed 705in hash like fashion, using key and value pairs. Possible options are: 706 707 Size => <bytes> 708 Return => "FULL" | "HDRS" 709 Bits => "7" | "8" | "binary" 710 Transaction => <ADDRESS> 711 Envelope => <ENVID> 712 XVERP => 1 713 714The C<Return> and C<Envelope> parameters are used for DSN (Delivery 715Status Notification). 716 717=item reset () 718 719Reset the status of the server. This may be called after a message has been 720initiated, but before any data has been sent, to cancel the sending of the 721message. 722 723=item recipient ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS, [...]] [, OPTIONS ] ) 724 725Notify the server that the current message should be sent to all of the 726addresses given. Each address is sent as a separate command to the server. 727Should the sending of any address result in a failure then the process is 728aborted and a I<false> value is returned. It is up to the user to call 729C<reset> if they so desire. 730 731The C<recipient> method can also pass additional case-sensitive OPTIONS as an 732anonymous hash using key and value pairs. Possible options are: 733 734 Notify => ['NEVER'] or ['SUCCESS','FAILURE','DELAY'] (see below) 735 SkipBad => 1 (to ignore bad addresses) 736 737If C<SkipBad> is true the C<recipient> will not return an error when a bad 738address is encountered and it will return an array of addresses that did 739succeed. 740 741 $smtp->recipient($recipient1,$recipient2); # Good 742 $smtp->recipient($recipient1,$recipient2, { SkipBad => 1 }); # Good 743 $smtp->recipient($recipient1,$recipient2, { Notify => ['FAILURE','DELAY'], SkipBad => 1 }); # Good 744 @goodrecips=$smtp->recipient(@recipients, { Notify => ['FAILURE'], SkipBad => 1 }); # Good 745 $smtp->recipient("$recipient,$recipient2"); # BAD 746 747Notify is used to request Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs), but your 748SMTP/ESMTP service may not respect this request depending upon its version and 749your site's SMTP configuration. 750 751Leaving out the Notify option usually defaults an SMTP service to its default 752behavior equivalent to ['FAILURE'] notifications only, but again this may be 753dependent upon your site's SMTP configuration. 754 755The NEVER keyword must appear by itself if used within the Notify option and "requests 756that a DSN not be returned to the sender under any conditions." 757 758 {Notify => ['NEVER']} 759 760 $smtp->recipient(@recipients, { Notify => ['NEVER'], SkipBad => 1 }); # Good 761 762You may use any combination of these three values 'SUCCESS','FAILURE','DELAY' in 763the anonymous array reference as defined by RFC3461 (see http://rfc.net/rfc3461.html 764for more information. Note: quotations in this topic from same.). 765 766A Notify parameter of 'SUCCESS' or 'FAILURE' "requests that a DSN be issued on 767successful delivery or delivery failure, respectively." 768 769A Notify parameter of 'DELAY' "indicates the sender's willingness to receive 770delayed DSNs. Delayed DSNs may be issued if delivery of a message has been 771delayed for an unusual amount of time (as determined by the Message Transfer 772Agent (MTA) at which the message is delayed), but the final delivery status 773(whether successful or failure) cannot be determined.

For 826example an application might extract The From: line from an email 827and pass that to mail(). While this may work, it is not reccomended. 828The application should really use a module like L<Mail::Address> 829to extract the mail address and pass that. 830 831If C<ExactAddresses> is passed to the contructor, then addresses 832should be a valid rfc2821-quoted address, although Net::SMTP will 833accept accept the address surrounded by angle brackets. 834 835 funny user@domain WRONG 836 "funny user"@domain RIGHT, recommended 837 <"funny user"@domain> OK 838 839=head1 SEE ALSO 840 841L<Net::Cmd> 842 843=head1 AUTHOR 844 845Graham Barr <gbarr@pobox.com> 846 847=head1 COPYRIGHT 848 849Copyright (c) 1995-2004 Graham Barr.
