I think this information is totally wrong. Some Mail:: modules use an external program, some talk to a server with SMTP, some with IMAP, some are not meant for sending email at all (Mail::Addressbook,Mail::MboxParser, ...), ... The only thing they have in the common is the fact that they are all related to mailing. > I could be mistaken about that but I'm not totally sure. > > Does Mail::Sender use the native OS's mail prog or does it talk to the > smtp server directly? Directly to an SMTP server.
