使用perl脚本发送邮件时使用“发件人”地址？

Question

What I'm trying to understand here is what should we put in the from option in this Sendmail snippet. If I'm running the script from my local windows machine, what can i do to send the mail?

use Mail::Sendmail;

sendmail(
From    => 'sender@somewhereelse.com',
To      => 'recipient@somewhere.com',
Subject => 'some subject',
Message => "body of the message",
);

Answer 1

Under the assumption that you're using SMTP to send mail,

unshift @{$Mail::Sendmail::mailcfg{'smtp'}} , 'my.mail.server';

you can put in from field anything what would you put in Thunderbird/Outlook client.
