| Subject: | Allow setting of envelope sender in ::SMTP |
Email::Send::SMTP currently uses the email address in the 'From' header
as the reverse-path in the SMTP transaction for the 'MAIL FROM' command.
It is desirable to be able to change that. You can, for example, set it
to an address which is set up to process bounces.
I attach a patch which allows you to specify the reverse-path in the
'from' mailer_arg. If not specified, the current behaviour is maintainted.
Regards,
Simon
