SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       Implements mail transport using the external 'Exim' program.  When instantiated, the mailer will look for
       the binary in specific system directories, and the first version found is taken.

       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Transport::Send.

           If  you  have  Exim  installed  in  a non-standard location, you will need to specify the path, using
           new(proxy).

DIAGNOSTICS

       Error: Errors when closing Exim mailer $program: $!
           The Exim mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle the message correctly.

       Warning: Message has no destination
           It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to go to.

       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this  method  where
           it  should.  This  message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the
           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author  of  the
           package.

       Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
           The   message   which   is   sent   is   the   result   of   a  bounce  (for  instance  created  with
           Mail::Message::bounce()), and therefore starts with a "Received" header field.   With  the  "bounce",
           the  new  destination(s)  of  the  message  are  given,  which  should  be  included  as "Resent-To",
           "Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".

           The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no "Received" was found.  That seems  to
           be the best explanation of the RFC.

           As  alternative,  you  may  also  specify  the  "to"  option  to  some  of  the senders (for instance
           Mail::Transport::SMTP::send(to) to overrule any information found in the  message  itself  about  the
           destination.
