# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This is a subclass of Log::Dispatch::Email that implements the send\_email method using the Mail::Sender module.

# [CONSTRUCTOR](#CONSTRUCTOR)

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output and Log::Dispatch::Email:

- smtp ($)
  
  The smtp server to connect to. This defaults to "localhost".
- port ($)
  
  The port to use when connecting. This defaults to 25.
- auth ($)
  
  Optional. The SMTP authentication protocol to use to login to the server. At the time of writing Mail::Sender only supports LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 and NTLM.
  
  Some protocols have module dependencies. CRAM-MD5 depends on Digest::HMAC\_MD5 and NTLM on Authen::NTLM.
- authid ($)
  
  Optional. The username used to login to the server.
- authpwd ($)
  
  Optional. The password used to login to the server.
- tls\_required ($)
  
  Optional. If you set this option to a true value, Mail::Sender will fail whenever it's unable to use TLS.
- fake\_from ($)
  
  The From address that will be shown in headers. If not specified we use the value of from.
- replyto ($)
  
  The reply-to address.
