# Net::SMTP::SSL - phpMan

## 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].
