NAME

       Net::SMTP::Server::Client - Client session handling for Net::SMTP::Server.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Carp;
	 use Net::SMTP::Server;
	 use Net::SMTP::Server::Client;
	 use Net::SMTP::Server::Relay;

	 $server = new Net::SMTP::Server('localhost', 25) ||
	   croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");

	 while($conn = $server->accept()) {
	   # We can perform all sorts of checks here for spammers, ACLs,
	   # and other useful stuff to check on a connection.

	   # Handle the client's connection and spawn off a new parser.
	   # This can/should be a fork() or a new thread,
	   # but for simplicity...
	   my $client = new Net::SMTP::Server::Client($conn) ||
	       croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");

	   # Process the client.  This command will block until
	   # the connecting client completes the SMTP transaction.
	   $client->process || next;

	   # In this simple server, we're just relaying everything
	   # to a server.  If a real server were implemented, you
	   # could save email to a file, or perform various other
	   # actions on it here.
	   my $relay = new Net::SMTP::Server::Relay($client->{FROM},
						    $client->{TO},
						    $client->{MSG});
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       The Net::SMTP::Server::Client module implements all the session handling required for a Net::SMTP::Server::Client connection.  The above
       example demonstrates how to use Net::SMTP::Server::Client with Net::SMTP::Server to handle SMTP connections.

       $client = new Net::SMTP::Server::Client($conn)

       Net::SMTP::Server::Client accepts one argument that must be a handle to a connection that will be used for communication.

       Once you have a new client session, simply call:

       $client->process

       This processes an SMTP transaction.  THIS MAY APPEAR TO HANG -- ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA BEING SENT.  Once this method
       returns, the server will have processed an entire SMTP transaction, and is ready to continue.

       Once $client->process returns, various fields have been filled in.  Those are:

	 $client->{TO}	  -- This is an array containing the intended
			     recipients for this message.  There may be
			     multiple recipients for any given message.

	 $client->{FROM}  -- This is the sender of the given message.
	 $client->{MSG}   -- The actual message data. :)

NAME

       Net::SSLGlue::SMTP - make Net::SMTP able to use SSL

SYNOPSIS

	       use Net::SSLGlue::SMTP;
	       my $smtp_ssl = Net::SMTP->new( $host,
		       SSL => 1,
		       SSL_ca_path => ...
	       );

	       my $smtp_plain = Net::SMTP->new( $host );
	       $smtp_plain->starttls( SSL_ca_path => ... );

DESCRIPTION

       Net::SSLGlue::SMTP extends Net::SMTP so one can either start directly with SSL or switch later to SSL using the STARTTLS command.

       By default it will take care to verify the certificate according to the rules for SMTP implemented in IO::Socket::SSL.

METHODS

       new The method "new" of Net::SMTP is now able to start directly with SSL when the argument "<SSL =" 1>> is given. In this case it will not
	   create an IO::Socket::INET object but an IO::Socket::SSL object. One can give the usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL to
	   "Net::SMTP::new".

       starttls
	   If the connection is not yet SSLified it will issue the STARTTLS command and change the object, so that SSL will now be used. The usual
	   "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL will be given.

       peer_certificate ...
	   Once the SSL connection is established the object is derived from IO::Socket::SSL so that you can use this method to get information
	   about the certificate. See the IO::Socket::SSL documentation.

       All of these methods can take the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL to change the behavior of the SSL connection. The following
       parameters are especially useful:

       SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file
	   Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX
	   systems.

       SSL_verify_mode
	   If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means that the peer certificate is
	   checked.

       SSL_verifycn_name
	   Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the
	   certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter.
