After reading the docs for the module I can find a way to manage an
exception thrown by the send method when the mailhost is down. The
program dies with the error "Failed to connect to mail server: Invalid
argument". Is there a way to trap this error and let the program
continue? I would think that this should possible and I am not seeing
the obvious answer. Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Simply change $mailhost to a non-existent SMTP host to test.
use strict;
use MIME::Lite;
my $mailhost = 'mailhost.domain.com';
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
To =>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
Subject =>'test',
Type =>'TEXT/HTML',
Data =>'Test text'
);
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $mailhost , Timeout=>60);
if ($msg->send) {
print "message sent\n";
}
else {
print "Failed to send\n";
}
print "last line\n";
