The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 0.78_3

  • support multi-line responses
  • define local $\ and $_ in &sendmail to protect us from outside settings (is this really needed?)
  • delete $mail{Sender} used for envelope sender, but not needed as header
  • internal rewrite using subs to send and receive on socket

Changes for version 0.78_2

  • fix old bug with dot as 77th char (check this!).
  • correct very old bug where port number was not extracted from stuff like 'my.server:2525'.
  • fix time_to_date bug with negative half-hour zones (only Newfoundland?)
  • use Sys::Hostname to get the hostname for HELO. (I think it has been part of the standard distribution for many years now)
  • support different envelope sender through $mail{Sender}
  • Remove old configuration variables from version 0.74.
  • Change case of headers: first character after "-" also uppercased now, so people who believe this is required because Outlook does it this way stop complaining. :-)
  • Minor documentation changes.
