Mail::Util(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Util(3)
NAME
Mail::Util - mail utility functions
INHERITANCE
Mail::Util
is a Exporter
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Util qw( ... );
DESCRIPTION
This package provides several mail related utility functions. Any function required must
by explicitly listed on the use line to be exported into the calling package.
FUNCTIONS
mailaddress([ADDRESS])
Return a guess at the current users mail address. The user can force the return value
by setting the MAILADDRESS environment variable. [2.10] You may set the ADDRESS via
the parameter.
WARNING: When not supplied via the environment variable, <mailaddress> looks at
various configuration files and other environmental data. Although this seems to be
smart behavior, this is not predictable enough (IMHO) to be used. Please set the
MAILADDRESS explicitly, and do not trust on the "automatic detection", even when that
produces a correct address (on the moment)
example:
# in your main script
$ENV{MAILADDRESS} = 'me AT example.com';
# everywhere else
use Mail::Util 'mailaddress';
print mailaddress;
# since v2.10
mailaddress "me AT example.com";
maildomain()
Attempt to determine the current uers mail domain string via the following methods
o Look for the MAILDOMAIN enviroment variable, which can be set from outside the
program. This is by far the best way to configure the domain.
o Look for a sendmail.cf file and extract DH parameter
o Look for a smail config file and usr the first host defined in hostname(s)
o Try an SMTP connect (if Net::SMTP exists) first to mailhost then localhost
o Use value from Net::Domain::domainname (if Net::Domain exists)
WARNING: On modern machines, there is only one good way to provide information to this
method: the first; always explicitly configure the MAILDOMAIN.
example:
# in your main script
$ENV{MAILDOMAIN} = 'example.com';
# everywhere else
use Mail::Util 'maildomain';
print maildomain;
read_mbox(FILE)
Read FILE, a binmail mailbox file, and return a list of references. Each reference
is a reference to an array containg one message.
WARNING: This method does not quote lines which accidentally also start with the
message separator "From", so this implementation can be considered broken. See
Mail::Box::Mbox
