✨ NAME ✨

Email::Send::Sendmail — Send Messages using sendmail. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the group-chat version of "how do I use this":

use Email::Send;

Email::Send->new({mailer => 'Sendmail'})->send($message);

literally three lines and your message is out the door 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: this mailer for Email::Send uses sendmail to send a message. that's the whole personality.

it does not try hard to find the executable. no hunting, no searching, no detective work — it just calls sendmail and expects it to be in your path. main character energy fr fr. 🙈

so if that's not the case (like, sendmail isn't chilling in your PATH), or you want to explicitly define the location of your executable, just alter the $Email::Send::Sendmail::SENDMAIL package variable:

$Email::Send::Sendmail::SENDMAIL = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

boom. problem solved. no cap. 🔥
