Hello, fellow Monks,

The choice of packages for sending email seem to be huge, ranging from simply issuing a command to call sendmail upwards through various Mail::Sendmail, Mail, Mime::Lite and Email::Sender bundles.

Do my fellow Monks have any guidelines as to which package is the "best" for email, or can they give guidelines as to how to decide which email package is the most useful for a given situation?

If by any chance I've missed an earlier posting on this subject, then please point me in the right direction. However this seems to be one of those issues that needs revisiting periodically

If any of my proposed solutions have minor errors, it's because I don't waste my genius on trivial matters. :-P

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
