# Mail::Transport::Exim - phpMan

## NAME
    [Mail::Transport::Exim] - transmit messages using external Exim program

## INHERITANCE
     [Mail::Transport::Exim]
       is a [Mail::Transport::Send]
       is a [Mail::Transport]
       is a [Mail::Reporter]

## SYNOPSIS
     my $sender = [Mail::Transport::Exim]->new(...);
     $sender->send($message);

## DESCRIPTION
    Implements mail transport using the external 'Exim' program. When
    instantiated, the mailer will look for the binary in specific system
    directories, and the first version found is taken.

## DIAGNOSTICS
    Error: Errors when closing Exim mailer $program: $!
        The Exim mail transfer agent did start, but was not able to handle
        the message correctly.

    Warning: Message has no destination
        It was not possible to figure-out where the message is intended to
        go to.

    Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
        Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
        not implement this method where it should. This message means that
        some other related classes do implement this method however the
        class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
        probably inform the author of the package.

    Warning: Resent group does not specify a destination
        The message which is sent is the result of a bounce (for instance
        created with [Mail::Message::bounce]()), and therefore starts with a
        "Received" header field. With the "bounce", the new destination(s)
        of the message are given, which should be included as "Resent-To",
        "Resent-Cc", and "Resent-Bcc".

        The "To", "Cc", and "Bcc" header information is only used if no
        "Received" was found. That seems to be the best explanation of the
        RFC.

        As alternative, you may also specify the "to" option to some of the
        senders (for instance [Mail::Transport::SMTP::send](to) to overrule
        any information found in the message itself about the destination.
