Subject: Specifying a gateway to Test::Reporter
Hi, I use CPANPLUS a lot for all my module administration and for reporting test results to cpan testers and it does a very fine job. One slightly annoying problem is that at $work I am behind firewalls and must therefore use our email gateway to send test reports. After much head stratching I have taken to hacking CPANPLUS::Internals::Report to add the mx option to the Test::Reporter constructor. I have approached the Test::Reporter author about adding an ENV var such as SMTPSERVER to his module, but he has suggested, and I concur with him, that this would be best dealt with in CPANPLUS itself. I'm guessing that some sort of configuration option is required for specifying an smtp gateway. Many thanks in advance, Chris Williams aka BINGOS

I've added this functionality in CPANPLUS 0.075_02: * add cpantest_mx config option * document how to set it in CPANPLUS::Internals::Report * add tests Hopefully this will address your needs. Thanks for reporting -- Kane
