Subject: Using /usr/sbin/sendmail
Things have been working really well for me using Log4Perl until my provider decided to force SMTP AUTH even when talking to localhost on port 25. So my problem is that Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSendmail is no longer suitable because it doesn't use sendmail to sendmail (dispite the name of the module) instead it uses SMTP and doesn't support AUTH. So can you please suggest an alternative for me that either supports AUTH or uses /usr/sbin/sendmail to send the mail. (The former would be preferable since it would save a fork/exec).

I've decided the based approach is to write my own Log::Dispatch module to send using Sendmail. And voila! Log::Dispatch::Email::Sendmail is born and will be uploaded to CPAN soon.

That's great news, I was thinking I'd build a wrapper around Mail::DWIM which allows multiple transports, but luckily, you've beat me to it with your Log::Dispatch::Email::Sendmail module -- thanks! -- Mike
