NAME
Embperl::Mail - Sends results from Embperl via E-Mail

SYNOPSIS
 use Embperl::Mail ;

 Embperl::Mail::Execute ({inputfile => 'template.epl',
                                subject   => 'Test Embperl::Mail::Execute',
                                to        => 'email@foo.org'}) ;

DESCRIPTION
Embperl::Mail uses Embperl to process a page template and send the result out via EMail. Currently only plain text mails are supported. A later version may add support for HTML mails. Because of that fact, normal Embperl HTML processing is disabled per Default (see options below).

  Execute
The "Execute" function can handle all the parameter that "Embperl::Execute" does. Addtionaly the following parameters are recognized:

from
    gives the sender e-mail address

to  gives the recipient address(es). Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

cc  gives the recipient address(es) which should receive a carbon copy. Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

bcc gives the recipient address(es) which should receive a blind carbon copy. Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

subject
    gives the subject line

reply-to
    the given address is insert as reply address

mailheaders
    Array ref of additional mail headers

headerencoding (2.0b9+)
    Tells Embperl::Mail which charset definition to include in any header that contains character code 128-255 and therfore needs encoding. Defaults to iso-8859-1. Pass empty string to turn encoding of header fields of.

mailhost
    Specifies which host to use as SMTP server. Default is localhost.

mailhelo
    Specifies which host/domain to use in the HELO/EHLO command. A reasonable default is normaly choosen by Net::SMTP, but depending on your installation it may neccessary to set it manualy.

maildebug
    Set to 1 to enable debugging of mail transfer.

options
    If no "options" are given the following are used per default: optDisableHtmlScan, optRawInput, optKeepSpaces, optReturnError

escmode
    In contrast to normal Embperl escmode defaults to zero (no escape)

errors
    As in "Embperl::Execute" you can specify an array ref, which returns all the error messages from template processing. If you don't specify this parameter "Execute" will die when an error occurs.

  Configuration
Some default values could be setup via environement variables.

IMPORTANT: For now Embperl::Mail does not honour the Embperl configuration directives in your httpd.conf. Only values set via the environment are accepted (e.g. via SetEnv or PerlSetEnv).

  EMBPERL_MAILHOST
Specifies which host to use as SMTP server. Default is localhost.

  EMBPERL_MAILHELO
Specifies which host/domain to use in the HELO/EHLO command. A reasonable default is normaly choosen by Net::SMTP, but depending on your installation it may neccessary to set it manualy.

  EMBPERL_MAILFROM
Specifies which the email address that is used as sender. Default is www-server@server_name.

  EMBPERL_MAILDEBUG
