NAME

       Mail::Transport::Exim - transmit messages using external Exim program

INHERITANCE

	Mail::Transport::Exim
	  is a Mail::Transport::Send
	  is a Mail::Transport
	  is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

	my $sender = Mail::Transport::Exim->new(...);
	$sender->send($message);

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.

METHODS

   Constructors
       Mail::Transport::Exim->new(OPTIONS)
	   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.
