Email::Send supports a pluggable interface layer and can therefore do some interesting things, like plugging in a module that stores mail into files for debugging, or posting the message via NNTP rather than mailing it. More generally, Perl modules to send mail rather than using /usr/sbin/sendmail are often useful with web applications (or other applications that need security isolation) that are running in a chroot. To use /usr/sbin/sendmail in the chroot requires setting up a chroot maildrop, and while there are packages to do this, using some module that can speak SMTP is often the path of least resistance. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
