Just can sent only ONE mail every time.

[pysome]

Dear all,
I use the NET::Smtp to sendmail.But only one mail can be sent every time.

I make a module like :MySMTP.pm

  package MySMTP
  ...
  sub new {
      my $self = {};
      $self->{SMTP} = Net::SMTP->new("192.168.0.11);
      $self->{DBH}  = DBI->connect_cached(....);
  }
  
  sub get_list {
      ...
      return @list;
  }
  
  sub sendMail {
      my ($self,$to,$content) = @_;
      $self->{SMTP}->mail([e-mail]);
      $self->{SMTP}->to($to);
      $self->{SMTP}->data();
      $self->{SMTP}->datasend
      $self->{SMTP}->datasend("\n");
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend('To: '.$to);
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend("\n");
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend('Content-type:text/html;Charset=utf8');
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend("\n");
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend("Subject: hello");
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend("\n\n");
    $self->{SMTP}->datasend("$content\n");
    $self->{SMTP}->dataend();
    $self->{SMTP}->quit;
  }

Then i make a script(say a.pl) to use MySMTP.pm .I run the a.pl every minutes in crontab.

  ...
  use MySMTP;
  $mail = new MySMTP();
  my @lists = $mail->get_list();
  
  for my $addr (@list) {
      $mail->sendMail($addr,"how are you");    
  }

Every time,I only can get ONE mail in @lists .But it include about 50+ lists.
Where it gets wrong? Thanks.
Regarsd,

quit ends the connection according to the docs. You probably have to create a new Net::SMTP object for every email. (Each email can have more than one recipient, though.)

[pysome]

Thanks. But if i put the new Net::SMTP in sub sendMail.It means every list will be connect the mail server once,it's so time-consuming.
Do you some other method.Or how to organise the "order" ?Thanks again

Did you check if SMTP (or the version on which Net::SMTP is based) can send more than one message per connection? Even HTTP wasn't able to do so originally. At a glance, it doesn't look like SMTP can either.

Why not simply pass the list of addresses in and send the one email to multiple recipients using either TO or BCC addressing?
