Re^4: Email::Send succeeds with "unknown user"

no doubt it uses localhost by default, or Email::Send makes that choice, i haven't set it explicitly.

When I sid i wanted to reduce the load, our code currently opens a pipe to sendmail.

Doesn't the SMTP method atleast communicate with the sendmail daemon? rather than starting a new process?

This script checks for registered mailers that you have available: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Email::Send; my $sender = Email::Send->new( { mailer => 'SMTP' } ); $sender->mailer_args( [ Host => 'localhost' ] ); my @available = $sender->all_mailers; print "@available\n";` [download] As for the reason why it succeeds with "unknown user", three things come to mind. First, you'll need to open Postfix's `main.cf` configuration file, for example, `/etc/postfix/main.cf`. Look for "soft_bounce"---thats where mail that would ordinarily bounce remains queued. Set that to `soft_bounce = no`. Second, look for "ignore_mx_lookup_error"---that ignores DNS MX lookups that produce no response. Set that to `ignore_mx_lookup_error = no`. Third, there's another entry that might be there. Look for "smtp_defer_if_no_mx_address_found"---Set that to `smtp_defer_if_no_mx_address_found = yes`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Send;

my $sender = Email::Send->new( { mailer => 'SMTP' } );
$sender->mailer_args( [ Host => 'localhost' ] );

my @available = $sender->all_mailers;

print "@available\n";
