NAME

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

VERSION

       version 2.601

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
       "sasl_authenticator": An "Authen::SASL" instance to use for auth; optional
           The "sasl_authenticator" and "sasl_username" attributes are mutually exclusive.

       "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.
