PerlSendmail - Overview

If you have scripts that require SendMail for sending emails, but do not want to install sendmail on your server then you can use this wrapper instead.

This simple Perl script will send email by connecting to a user specified SMTP server directly. This means that no queue directories or daemons are needed.

If the SMTP server can not be reached then the email will be discarded.
