## DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Log::Dispatch::Email that implements the send\_email method using the Mail::Sender module.

## CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output and Log::Dispatch::Email:

- •

  smtp ($)

  The smtp server to connect to. This defaults to "localhost".

- •

  port ($)

  The port to use when connecting. This defaults to 25.

- •

  auth ($)

  Optional. The SMTP authentication protocol to use to login to the server. At the time of writing Mail::Sender only supports LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM.

  Some protocols have module dependencies. CRAM-MD5 depends on Digest::HMAC\_MD5 and NTLM on Authen::NTLM.

- •

  authid ($)

  Optional. The username used to login to the server.

- •

  authpwd ($)

  Optional. The password used to login to the server.

- •

  tls\_required ($)

  Optional. If you set this option to a true value, Mail::Sender will fail whenever it's unable to use TLS.

- •

  fake\_from ($)

  The From address that will be shown in headers. If not specified we use the value of from.

- •

  replyto ($)

  The reply-to address.
