Mail::Transport::Mailx(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Transport::Mailx(3pm)
NAME
Mail::Transport::Mailx - transmit messages using external mailx program
INHERITANCE
Mail::Transport::Mailx
is a Mail::Transport::Send
is a Mail::Transport
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
my $sender = Mail::Transport::Mailx->new(...);
$sender->send($message);
DESCRIPTION
Implements mail transport using the external programs 'mailx', "Mail", or 'mail'. When instantiated, the mailer will look for any of these
binaries in specific system directories, and the first program found is taken.
WARNING: There are many security issues with mail and mailx. DO NOT USE these commands to send messages which contains data derived from
any external source!!!
Under Linux, freebsd, and bsdos the "mail", "Mail", and "mailx" names are just links to the same binary. The implementation is very
primitive, pre-MIME standard, what may cause many headers to be lost. For these platforms (and probably for other platforms as well), you
can better not use this transport mechanism.

There are two version of the "mail" program. The newest accepts RFC822 messages, and automagically collect information about where
the message is to be send to. The BSD style mail command predates MIME, and expects lines which start with a '~' (tilde) to specify
destinations and such. This field is autodetect, however on some platforms both versions of "mail" can live (like various Linux
distributions).

DIAGNOSTICS
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.
Error: Sending via mailx mailer $program failed: $! ($?)
Mailx (in some shape: there are many different implementations) did start accepting messages, but did not succeed sending it.
