TipJar/MTA version 0.21 ======================= An outgoing SMTP system. All messages live in their own files under a directory that should be on a file system big enough to hold everything. We keep track of bad addresses, domains we failed to connect to, and queued messages with connection problems by domain, in additional files. See the HISTORY section of the pod in the main module for the full (and hopefully not growing too much more!) feature list. as of version 0.19 a %SMTProutes data structure is available for per-domain routing or SMARTHOST specification, and the 'nodns' use-line parameter will suppress the requirement for Net::DNS. Messages that receive 400-level error codes (temporary delivery failure) will be retried at increasing random intervals for a week. use TipJar::MTA::queue to add messages for sending, or simply link your properly formatted message into the working directory, or link your messages for single recipients into the immediate directory. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install or simply unpack it and refer to the directory with Perl's -I command line option. DEPENDENCIES Core perl. dateheader module for generating rfc-compliant Date header Net::DNS. (now optional!) COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2003,2004,2005,2007 David Nicol / TipJar LLC.
