534
535Net::SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Client
536
537=head1 SYNOPSIS
538
539 use Net::SMTP;
686337f3 540
406c51ee 541 # Constructors
542 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost');
543 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost', Timeout => 60);
544
545=head1 DESCRIPTION
546
547This module implements a client interface to the SMTP and ESMTP
548protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to SMTP servers. 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
686337f3 562
406c51ee 563 use Net::SMTP;
686337f3 564
406c51ee 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
686337f3 573
406c51ee 574 use Net::SMTP;
686337f3 575
406c51ee 576 $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost');
686337f3 577
406c51ee 578 $smtp->mail($ENV{USER});
579 $smtp->to('postmaster');
686337f3 580
406c51ee 581 $smtp->data();
582 $smtp->datasend("To: postmaster\n");
583 $smtp->datasend("\n");
584 $smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
585 $smtp->dataend();
686337f3 586
406c51ee 587 $smtp->quit;

589=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
590
591=over 4
592
f92f3fcb 593=item new ( [ HOST ] [, OPTIONS ] )
406c51ee 594
595This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP object. C<HOST> is the
d1be9408 596name of the remote host to which an SMTP connection is required.
406c51ee 597
f92f3fcb 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.
406c51ee 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
f92f3fcb 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.
406c51ee 613
12df23ee 614B<LocalAddr> and B<LocalPort> - These parameters are passed directly
615to IO::Socket to allow binding the socket to a local port.
616
406c51ee 617B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
618SMTP server (default: 120)
619
dea4d7df 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
406c51ee 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
f92f3fcb 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 );

406c51ee 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
f92f3fcb 678=item host ()
679
680Returns the value used by the constructor, and passed to IO::Socket::INET,
681to connect to the host.
682
406c51ee 683=item etrn ( DOMAIN )
684
685Request a queue run for the DOMAIN given.
686
c8570720 687=item auth ( USERNAME, PASSWORD )
688
16f7bb68 689Attempt SASL authentication.
c8570720 690
406c51ee 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>
dea4d7df 708 Return => "FULL" | "HDRS"
709 Bits => "7" | "8" | "binary"
406c51ee 710 Transaction => <ADDRESS>
711 Envelope => <ENVID>
f92f3fcb 712 XVERP => 1
406c51ee 713
dea4d7df 714The C<Return> and C<Envelope> parameters are used for DSN (Delivery
715Status Notification).
406c51ee 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
f92f3fcb 723=item recipient ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS, [...]] [, OPTIONS ] )
406c51ee 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.
f92f3fcb 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.
406c51ee 730
f92f3fcb 731The C<recipient> method can also pass additional case-sensitive OPTIONS as an
732anonymous hash using key and value pairs. Possible options are:
406c51ee 733
f92f3fcb 734 Notify => ['NEVER'] or ['SUCCESS','FAILURE','DELAY'] (see below)
735 SkipBad => 1 (to ignore bad addresses)
406c51ee 736
f92f3fcb 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.
406c51ee 740
686337f3 741 $smtp->recipient($recipient1,$recipient2); # Good
742 $smtp->recipient($recipient1,$recipient2, { SkipBad => 1 }); # Good
f92f3fcb 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. The absence of the DELAY
774keyword in a NOTIFY parameter requests that a "delayed" DSN NOT be issued under
775any conditions."
776
777 {Notify => ['SUCCESS','FAILURE','DELAY']}
778
779 $smtp->recipient(@recipients, { Notify => ['FAILURE','DELAY'], SkipBad => 1 }); # Good
686337f3 780
406c51ee 781=item to ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS [...]] )
782
686337f3 783=item cc ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS [...]] )
784
785=item bcc ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS [...]] )
786
787Synonyms for C<recipient>.
406c51ee 788
789=item data ( [ DATA ] )
790
791Initiate the sending of the data from the current message.
792
793C<DATA> may be a reference to a list or a list. If specified the contents
794of C<DATA> and a termination string C<".\r\n"> is sent to the server. And the
795result will be true if the data was accepted.
796
797If C<DATA> is not specified then the result will indicate that the server
798wishes the data to be sent. The data must then be sent using the C<datasend>
799and C<dataend> methods described in L<Net::Cmd>.
800
801=item expand ( ADDRESS )
802
803Request the server to expand the given address Returns an array
804which contains the text read from the server.
805
806=item verify ( ADDRESS )
807
808Verify that C<ADDRESS> is a legitimate mailing address.
809
f92f3fcb 810Most sites usually disable this feature in their SMTP service configuration.
811Use "Debug => 1" option under new() to see if disabled.
812
406c51ee 813=item help ( [ $subject ] )
814
815Request help text from the server. Returns the text or undef upon failure
816
817=item quit ()
818
819Send the QUIT command to the remote SMTP server and close the socket connection.
820

822
16f7bb68 823=head1 ADDRESSES
824
dea4d7df 825Net::SMTP attempts to DWIM with addresses that are passed. 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.
16f7bb68 834
835 funny user@domain WRONG
836 "funny user"@domain RIGHT, recommended
837 <"funny user"@domain> OK
