Bug #106008 for Mail-Sender: Mail::Sender incorrectly extracts From address when using SMTP auth

In some circumstances Mail::Sender doesn't correctly deal with "from" addresses like the following:
    Realname <local@dompart.com>

I'm also explicitly defining auth=>"PLAIN",tls_required=>1,authid=>"xxx",authpwd=>"yyy"

It ends up sending this during the SMTP transaction:
   MAIL FROM:<local@dompart.com >
Notice the extra space before the end of the line, which is rejected by strict mail servers.

I suspect it's something to do with line 1366 in Sender.pm, but I don't understand what it's trying to do:
$_ = send_cmd $s, "MAIL FROM:<$self->{'fromaddr'}>$self->{esmtp}{_MAIL_FROM}";
And also line 227:
$self->{esmtp}{_MAIL_FROM} .= " $_=$self->{esmtp}{$_}"
                if $self->{esmtp}{$_} ne '';

However it handles "to" addresses like "Realname <local@dompart.com>" fine.


My workaround is to pre-process the 'from' address in the caller, like this:

use Mail::Address;
my @a = Mail::Address->parse($from);
$smtp_from = return $a[0]->address;

I supply $smtp_from as the "from" value, and $from as the "fake_from" value.


Thanks,
