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.
