DESCRIPTION

The Net::SMTP::Server::Client2 module is a patched Net::SMTP::Server::Client module.

            

              
              
$client->get_message returns before delivering a response
code to the client.  $client->okay(...) and $client->too_large()
and $client->fail(...) return the appropriate codes, rather than
assuming that all messages were 250.  "Is that 250 with you?"  
$client->basta() will 421 and close, which is also an option after
receiving a message you don't want to accept.
 $client->{faults} is the number of booboos the client made while
  presenting the message, after 15 of them we 421 and close.
            
          

And, Client2 is no longer is an autoloader or an exporter because it doesn't export anything or autoload.
