Is there any way to force Mail::Send to accept a "From" name, as opposed to simply sending and using the hostname by default? I don't see anything in the docs about setting the "From" field in the headers.
(of course, I can just open a pipe to sendmail, but I want to see if there's a way to pull this off first...)
Definitely avoid this if possible, there are numerous mail message modules, one of them is bound to provide what you need.
example:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
require Mail::Send;
my $mailbody = "blah blah blah"; my $to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; my $from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
my $msg = new Mail::Send;
# $msg->from($from) # doesn't work and mail # doesn't get sent if you # use it
It appears that 'from' isn't one of the proper header methods, you should try using the 'set' or 'add' methods to add the header you want. For instance:
$msg->set('From' => $from);
$msg->to($to); $msg->subject('Mail from SomeBusiness.com'); my $fh = $msg->open; print $fh $mailbody; $fh->close;
# When this mail comes in, it comes from # <mywebaccountuserID>@<mywebhostdomain>
If this doesn't suffice you might try one of the other mail modules that is slightly more robust.
