Mail::Util(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Util(3pm)
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
Return a guess at the current users mail address. The user can force the return value
by setting the MAILADDRESS environment variable.
WARNING: When not supplied via the environment variable, <mailaddress> looks at vari-
ous 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 MAILAD-
DRESS explicitly, and do not trust on the "automatic detection", even when that pro-
duces 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;
maildomain
Attempt to determine the current uers mail domain string via the following methods
* Look for the MAILDOMAIN enviroment variable, which can be set from outside the pro-
gram. This is by far the best way to configure the domain.
* Look for a sendmail.cf file and extract DH parameter
* Look for a smail config file and usr the first host defined in hostname(s)
* Try an SMTP connect (if Net::SMTP exists) first to mailhost then localhost
* 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 mes-
sage separator "From", so this implementation can be considered broken. See
Mail::Box::Mbox
