Thus your program isn't blocking while busy talking with an (E)SMTP server. =head1 SYNOPSIS B The following examples are B complete programs, and aren't designed to be run as full blown applications. Their purpose is to quickly introduce you to the module. For complete examples, check the 'eg' directory that can be found in the distribution's kit. A simple example: # load PoCoClient::SMTP use POE::Component::Client::SMTP; # spawn a session POE::Component::Client::SMTP->send( From => 'foo@baz.com', To => 'john@doe.net', Server => 'relay.mailer.net', SMTP_Success => 'callback_event_for_success', SMTP_Failure => 'callback_event_for_failure', ); # and you are all set ;-) A more complex example: # load PoCoClient::SMTP use POE::Component::Client::SMTP; # spawn a session POE::Component::Client::SMTP->send( # Email related parameters From => 'foo@baz.com', To => [ 'john@doe.net', 'andy@zzz.org', 'peter@z.net', 'george@g.com', ], Body => \$email_body, # here's where your message is stored Server => 'relay.mailer.net', Timeout => 100, # 100 seconds before timeouting # POE related parameters Alias => 'pococlsmtpX', SMTP_Success => 'callback_event_for_success', SMTP_Failure => 'callback_event_for_failure', ); # and you are all set ;-) =head1 METHODS Below are the methods this Component has: =head2 send This immediately spawns a PoCoClient::SMTP Session and registers itself with the Kernel in order to have its job done. This method may be overhead for sending bulk messages, as after sending one message it gets destroyed. Maybe in the future, there will be a I method that will keep the Session around forever, until received a 'shutdown' like event. =head3 PARAMETERS There are two kinds of parameters PoCoClient::SMTP supports: Email related parameters and POE related parameters: =over 8 =item From This holds the sender's email address B to 'root@localhost', just don't ask why. =item To This holds a list of recipients. Note that To/CC/BCC fields are separated in your email body. From the SMTP server's point of view (and from this component's too) there is no difference as who is To, who CC and who BCC. The bottom line is: be careful how you construct your email message. B to root@localhost', just don't ask why. =item Body Here's the meat. This scalar contains the message you are sending composed of Email Fields and the actual message content. You need to construct this by hand or use another module. Which one you use is a matter of taste ;-))) B that I and I take precedense over I. In case I or I are set, I is discarded. B to an empty mail body. =item Server Here you specify the relay SMTP server to be used by this component. Currently piping thru sendmail is not supported so you need a SMTP server to actually do the mail delivery (either by storing the mail somewhere on the hard drive, or by relaying to another SMTP server). B to 'localhost' =item Port Usually SMTP servers bind to port 25. (See /etc/services if you are using a *NIX like O.S.). Sometimes, SMTP servers are set to listen to other ports, in which case you need to set this parameter to the correct value to match your setup. B to 25 =item Timeout Set the timeout for SMTP transactions (seconds). B to 30 seconds =item MyHostname Hostname to present when sending EHLO/HELO command. B to "localhost" =item BindAddress This attribute is set when creating the socket connection to the SMTP server. See POE::Wheel::SocketFactory for details. =item BindPort This attribute is set when creating the socket connection to the SMTP server. See POE::Wheel::SocketFactory for details. =item Debug Set the debugging level. A value greater than 0 increases the Component's verbosity B to 0 =item Alias In case you have multiple PoCoClient::SMTP Sessions, you'd like to handle them separately, so use Alias to differentiate them. This holds the Session's alias. B to nothing. Internally it refcounts to stay alive. =item Context You may want to set a context for your POE::Component::Client::SMTP session. This is a scalar. When the caller session receives SMTP_Success or SMTP_Failure event, the context is also passed to it if defined. =item MessageFile Specify a file name from where the email body is slurped. B that you still need to specify the parameters like From, To etc. =item FileHandle Specify a filehandle from where the email body is slurped. POE::Component::Client::SMTP does only a basic check on the filehandle it obtains from FileHandle value; in case you need to do some more sophisticated checks on the file and filehandle, please do it on your own, and then pass the handle to the component. B so please check that before using it. B that you still need to specify the parameters like From, To etc. =item TransactionLog In case you want to get back the Log between the client and the server, you need to enable this. B to disabled. =item SMTP_Success Event you want to be called by PoCoClient::SMTP in case of success. B to nothing. This means that the Component will not trigger any event and will silently go away. =over 8 =item ARG0 Contains Context if any =item ARG1 ARG1 Contains the SMTP Transaction log if TransactionLog is enabled, in the form: <- string received from server -> string to be sent to server Note that it is possible the string sent to server may not arrive there ARG1 is undefined if TransactionLog is not enabled =back =item SMTP_Failure Event you want to be called by PoCoClient::SMTP in case of failure. You will get back the following information: =over 8 =item ARG0 The Context you've set when spawning the component, or undef if no Context specified =item ARG1 A hash ref that currently has only a key: * SMTP_Server_Error, in this case, the value is the string as returned by the server (the error code should be included too by the server in the string) * Timeout, the value is the amount of seconds the timeout was set to * POE::Wheel::* depending on the wheel that returned error on us ;-) the value is a ref to an array containing ARG0 .. ARG3 * Configure, for AUTH misconfiguration * MessageFile_Error for not being able to slurp the contents of the file given to MessageFile, in case the parameter was set. Please B that in case the file is opened successfully and we get an error from the ReadWrite Wheel, then the hash key is 'POE::Wheel::ReadWrite' =item ARG2 ARG2 Contains the SMTP Transaction log if TransactionLog is enabled, in the form: <- string received from server -> string to be sent to server Note that it is possible the string sent to server may not arrive there ARG2 is undefined if TransactionLog is not enabled =back B to nothing. This means that the Component will not trigger any event and will silently go away. =item Auth ESMTP Authentication Currently supported mechanism: PLAIN If you are interested in implementing other mechanisms, please send me an email, it should be piece of cake. Hash ref with the following fields: =over 8 =item mechanism The mechanism to use. Currently only PLAIN auth is supported =item user User name =item pass User password =back =back =head1 SEE ALSO RFC2821 L L =head1 BUGS =over 8 =item * Currently the Component sends only HELO to the server, except for when using Auth. =back =head2 Bug Reporting Please report bugs using the project's page interface, at: L Unified format patches are more than welcome. =head1 KNOWN ISSUES =head2 Bare LF characters Note that the SMTP protocol forbids bare LF characters in e-mail messages. PoCoClSMTP doesn't do any checking whether you message is SMTP compliant or not. Most of the SMTP servers in the wild are tolerant with bare LF characters, but you shouldn't count on that. The point is you shouldn't send email messages having bare LF characters.
