BL4's SMTP server is an inbound only SMTP server.The SMTP server puts the incoming email intovarious text files.License: FreewareChanges:
A timeout feature was added so idle connectionscan be removed after a preset amount of time.
Is there any way to create an SMTP mail server will all granular permissions to it so that I can read emails which that server receives through any scripting language and also reply from the same server automatically? (3 Replies)

Net::SMTP::TLS - An SMTP client supporting TLS and AUTH
VERSION
Version 0.12
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SMTP::TLS;
my $mailer = new Net::SMTP::TLS(
'your.mail.host',
Hello => 'some.host.name',
Port => 25, #redundant
User => 'emailguy',
Password=> 's3cr3t');
$mailer->mail('emailguy@your.mail.host');
$mailer->to('someonecool@somewhere.else');
$mailer->data;
$mailer->datasend("Sent thru TLS!");
$mailer->dataend;
$mailer->quit;
DESCRIPTION
Net::SMTP::TLS is a TLS and AUTH capable SMTP client which offers an interface that users will find familiar from Net::SMTP. Net::SMTP::TLS
implements a subset of the methods provided by that module, but certainly not (yet) a complete mirror image of that API.
The methods supported by Net::SMTP::TLS are used in the above example. Though self explanatory for the most part, please see the perldoc
for Net::SMTP if you are unclear.
The differences in the methods provided are as follows:
The mail method does not take the options list taken by Net::SMTP
The to method also does not take options, and is the only method available to set the recipient (unlike the many synonyms provided by
Net::SMTP).
The constructor takes a limited number of Net::SMTP's parameters. The constructor for Net::SMTP::TLS takes the following (in addition
to the hostname of the mail server, which must be the first parameter and is not explicitly named):
NoTLS - In the unlikely event that you need to use this class to perform non-TLS SMTP (you ought to be using Net::SMTP itself for
that...), this will turn off TLS when supplied with a true value. This will most often cause an error related to authentication
when used on a server that requires TLS
Hello - hostname used in the EHLO command
Port - port to connect to the SMTP service (defaults to 25)
Timeout - Timeout for inital socket connection (defaults to 5, passed directly to IO::Socket::INET)
User - username for SMTP AUTH
Password - password for SMTP AUTH
TLS and AUTHentication
During construction of an Net::SMTP::TLS instance, the full login process will occur. This involves first sending EHLO to the server, then
initiating a TLS session through STARTTLS. Once this is complete, the module will attempt to login using the credentials supplied by the
constructor, if such credentials have been supplied.
The AUTH method will depend on the features returned by the server after the EHLO command. Based on that, CRAM-MD5 will be used if
available, followed by LOGIN, followed by PLAIN. Please note that LOGIN is the only method of authentication that has been tested. CRAM-MD5
and PLAIN login functionality was taken directly from the script mentioned in the acknowledgements section, however, I have not tested them
personally.
ERROR HANDLING
This module will croak in the event of an SMTP error. Should you wish to handle this gracefully in your application, you may wrap your mail
transmission in an eval {} block and check $@ afterward.
