new

$smtp = Net::SMTP->new(host[, options])

• Constructor. Takes the hostname of the remote mail server, host, and possibly some options, and creates a new SMTP object. Any options are passed to new as a hash, where the option is the key. The possible options are:
  • Debug
  • Enables debug mode if set to 1. Provides information about your connection, requests, and responses.
  • Hello
  • Sends a HELO command to the SMTP server. Takes a string that represents your domain; if not specified, Hello guesses your domain.
  • Timeout
  • Time (in seconds) after which the client stops trying to establish a connection with the SMTP server. Defaults to 120 seconds. If the connection cannot be established, the constructor returns undef.
