=head1 NAME

Mail::Mailer - send simple emails

=head1 INHERITANCE

Mail::Mailer
   is an IO::Handle

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Mailer;
  use Mail::Mailer qw(mail);    # specifies default mailer

$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new;
  $mailer = Mail::Mailer->new($type, @args);

$mailer->open(\%headers);
  print $mailer $body;
  $mailer->close
      or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Sends mail using any of the built-in methods.  As TYPE argument
to L<new()|Mail::Mailer/"Constructors">, you can specify any of

=over 4

=item C<sendmail>

Use the C<sendmail> program to deliver the mail.

=item C<smtp>

Use the C<smtp> protocol via Net::SMTP to deliver the mail. The server
to use can be specified in C<@args> with

$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtp', Server => $server);

The smtp mailer does not handle C<Cc> and C<Bcc> lines, neither their
C<Resent-*> fellows. The C<Debug> options enables debugging output
from C<Net::SMTP>.

[added 2.21] You may also use the C<< StartTLS => 1 >> options to upgrade the
connection with STARTTLS.  You need C<libnet> version 1.28 (2014) for this
to work.

You may also use the C<< Auth => [ $user, $password ] >> option for SASL
authentication. To make this work, you have to install the L<Authen::SASL>
distribution yourself: it is not automatically installed.

=item C<smtps>

This option is B<deprecated> when you have C<libnet> 1.28 (2014) and above.

Use the smtp over ssl protocol via L<Net::SMTP::SSL> to deliver the mail.
Usage is identical to C<smtp>. You have to install Authen::SASL as
well.

$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtps', Server => $server);

=item C<qmail>

Use qmail's qmail-inject program to deliver the mail.

=item C<testfile>

Used for debugging, this displays the data to the file named in
C<$Mail::Mailer::testfile::config{outfile}> which defaults to a file
named C<mailer.testfile>.  No mail is ever sent.

=back

C<Mail::Mailer> will search for executables in the above order. The
default mailer will be the first one found.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Constructors

=over 4

=item Mail::Mailer-E<gt>B<new>($type, %options)

The $type is one of the back-end sender implementations, as described in
the DESCRIPTION chapter of this manual page.  The %options are passed to
that back-end.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<open>(HASH)

The HASH consists of key and value pairs, the key being the name of
the header field (eg, C<To>), and the value being the corresponding
contents of the header field.  The value can either be a scalar
(eg, C<gnat@frii.com>) or a reference to an array of scalars
(C<< eg, ['gnat@frii.com', 'Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk'] >>).

=head1 DETAILS

=head2 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

=over 4

=item PERL_MAILERS

Augments/override the build in choice for binary used to send out
our mail messages.

Format:

"type1:mailbinary1;mailbinary2;...:type2:mailbinaryX;...:..."

Example: assume you want you use private sendmail binary instead
of mailx, one could set C<PERL_MAILERS> to:

"mail:/does/not/exists:sendmail:$HOME/test/bin/sendmail"

On systems which may include C<:> in file names, use C<|> as separator
between type-groups.

"mail:c:/does/not/exists|sendmail:$HOME/test/bin/sendmail"

=back

=head2 BUGS

Mail::Mailer does not help with folding, and does not protect
against various web-script hacker attacks, for instance where
a new-line is inserted in the content of the field.
