NAME

Net::SMTP::SSL - SSL support for Net::SMTP


SYNOPSIS

  use Net::SMTP::SSL;

  my $smtps = Net::SMTP::SSL->new("example.com", Port => 465);


DEPRECATED

Hey! Read this!

Since Net::SMTP v1.28 (2014-10-08), Net::SMTP itself has support for SMTP over SSL, and also for STARTTLS. Use Net::SMTP, not Net::SMTP::SSL.


DESCRIPTION

Implements the same API as Net::SMTP, but uses IO::Socket::SSL for its network operations. Due to the nature of Net::SMTP's new method, it is not overridden to make use of a default port for the SMTPS service. Perhaps future versions will be smart like that. Port 465 is usually what you want, and it's not a pain to specify that.

For interface documentation, please see Net::SMTP.


SEE ALSO
