Subject: Need way to override timeout values
Using Perl 5.18. Need a way for Mail::Sender to override default timeout values for server. Sometimes I want to change the timeout to 30 seconds, instead of what the SMTP server is using, which is too long for me.

Hi! Unfortunately, I don't think adding extra features to this dist is likely to happen. The go-to mail sending distribution these days is Email::Sender. https://metacpan.org/pod/Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP If you look at the SMTP transport there, there's a timeout attribute you can set. Moving to this up-to-date mailer that's well maintained is the best option. My plan for this dist is to fix as much of the documentation up as possible, clean up any current bugs and mark it as deprecated. I do not plan on adding new features at this time. Hope that helps. Thanks, Chase

I'm going to mark this ticket as rejected for now because marking it as resolved seems wrong. It would be a new feature and we're in maintenance mode. Thanks, Chase

Maybe I overlooked something, but I don't see a "maintenance mode" note in Mail::Sender's documentation.
