NAME

Dicop::Mail - send email

SYNOPSIS

        use Dicop::Mail;

        use base qw/Dicop::Handler/;

        ...

        $self->flush_email_queue($write_flag);

REQUIRES

Mail::Sendmail, Dicop::Event

EXPORTS

Exports nothing.

DESCRIPTION

Dicop::Mail inserts a flush_email_queue into the Dicop::Handler class.

It's purpose is to separate the email sending out, so that the client can inherit from Dicop::Handler without the need for Mail::Sendmail.

METHODS

flush_email_queue($write_flag);

Tries to send all mails in the queue, and return the number of mails successfully sent. This should be called outside the code that handles a client request, so that the client does not need to wait until all the emails are sent.

This routine will also put all to-be-sent emails into a logfile unless $write_flag is true.
