AxKit::XSP::Sendmail - Simple SMTP mailer tag library for AxKit eXtesible Server Pages. Add the sendmail: namespace to your XSP `<xsp:page'> tag: <xsp:page language="Perl" xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp/core/v1" xmlns:sendmail="http://axkit.org/NS/xsp/sendmail/v1" > And add this taglib to AxKit (via httpd.conf or .htaccess): AxAddXSPTaglib AxKit::XSP::Sendmail The XSP sendmail: taglib adds a simple SMTP mailer to XSP via Milivoj Ivkovic's platform-neutral Mail::Sendmail module. In addition, all email addresses are validated before sending using Maurice Aubrey's Email::Valid package. This taglib is identical to the Cocoon taglib of the same name, albeit in a different namespace..

`<sendmail:send-mail'>
This is the required 'wrapper' element for the sendmail taglib branch.

`<sendmail:smtphost'>
The this element sets the outgoing SMTP server for the current message. If ommitted, the default set in Mail::Sendmail's %mailcfg hash will be used instead.

`<sendmail:from'>
Defines the 'From' field in the outgoing message. If ommited, this field defaults to value set in Mail::Sendmail's %mailcfg hash. Run `perldoc Mall:Sendmail' for more detail.

`<sendmail:to'>
Defines a 'To' field in the outgoing message. Multiple instances are allowed.

`<sendmail:cc'>
Defines a 'Cc' field in the outgoing message. Multiple instances are allowed.

`<sendmail:bcc'>
Defines a 'Bcc' field in the outgoing message. Multiple instances are allowed.

`<sendmail:content-type'>
Defines the content-type of the body of the message (default: text/plain).

`<sendmail:content-transfer-encoding'>
Defines the content-transfer-encoding of the body of the message. The default depends on whether you have MIME::QuotedPrint available or not. If you do, it defaults to 'quoted-printable', and if you don't to '8bit';

`<sendmail:charset'>
Defines the charset of the body of the message (default: utf-8). Your system's iconv implementation needs to support converting from utf-8 to that character set otherwise sending email will fail.

`<sendmail:body'>
Defines the body of the outgoing message.

`<sendmail:message'>
This tag is interchangable with `<sendmail:body'>. my $mail_message = 'I\'m a victim of circumstance!'; <sendmail:send-mail> <sendmail:from>curly@localhost</sendmail:from> <sendmail:to>moe@spreadout.org</sendmail:to> <sendmail:cc>larry@porcupine.com</sendmail:cc> <sendmail:bcc>shemp@alsoran.net</sendmail:cc> <sendmail:body><xsp:expr>$mail_message</xsp:expr></sendmail:body> </sendmail:send-mail> When sending email fails, or an address is invalid, this taglib will throw an exception, which you can catch with the AxKit exceptions taglib.
