VERSION

version 1.000001

SYNOPSIS

    # sending email is simple

    use Email::Sender::Server::Client 'email';

    my $receipt = email { to => '...', subject => '...', body => '...' };

    # ... check on the status of $receipt

    print "file has been queued"    if -f $receipt;
    print "file has been processed" if ! -f $receipt;

or using an object-oriented approach ....

    use Email::Sender::Server::Client;

    my $client = Email::Sender::Server::Client->new;
    my $receipt = $client->email({to => '...', subject => '...', body => '...'});

    print "file has been queued"    if -f $receipt;
    print "file has been processed" if ! -f $receipt;

Please see the Email::Sender::Server::Message class for attributes that can be used as arguments to the mail() and send() methods.

Currently all ESS classes operate out of the current-working-directory which can be sub-optimal, especially when used in other classes that can be utilized by various different scripts.

The ESS_DATA environment variable can be set to change the path of the ess_data (data) directory utilized by the ess program, otherwise you may use the path parameter.

By default, a "ess_data" folder is created for you automatically in the current directory however when changing the path to the ess_data directory, please note that such a change will supercede the defaults and data will be stored at the path you've specified. For continuity, try to use absolute paths only!!!

DESCRIPTION

Email::Sender::Server::Client provides an interface to the ESS non-blocking email delivery system which queues emails for later delivery. This class is a simple wrapper around the Email::Sender::Server::Manager class, the manager is responsible for queuing email messages and delegating tasks to the worker processes.

EXPORTS

    use Email::Sender::Server::Client 'email';

    email { to => '...', subject => '...', body => '...' }
        or die "Error sending message to ...";
