Email::Postman - Yet another email sending package

I know I know, there is Email::Sender, and Mail::Sendmail, the 'send' method of MIME::Lite, Mail::Mailer  and probably other ones I don't know about on the CPAN and also the good old pipe to /bin/sendmail trick.

Each of them have their advantages, but none of them actually does what I wanted.

Email::Postman does all the following:

- It can send anything that's compatible with Email::Abstract (MIME::Entity, Email::Simple,  rfc822 String, etc..)

- It will manage multiple To, multiple Cc and multiple Bcc nicely.

- It will report on each of the recipients individually.

- It will speak to MX servers directly, according to the recipient's domain, so you don't need to manage a separate MTA to send emails.

- It has got a straight forward interface:



my $postman = Email::Postman->new({ hello => 'my-domain.com',
                                   from => 'postmaster@domain.com' });

my $email = ## any Email::Abstract compatible email.
            Email::Simple->create(
              header => [
                From => 'casey@geeknest.com',
                To => 'drain@example.com',
                Subject => 'Message in a bottle',
               ],
              body => '...',
            );

my @reports = $postman->deliver($email);

The only thing you need to be careful about is that depending on the responsiveness of the distant MX servers, calling deliver can be slow. So ideally you want to use it through some asynchronous mechanism. Gearman is a very popular one.

Give it a go!
