| Description: | Net::SMTP_auth is a small extension to G. Barr's Net::SMTP to authenticate to an SMTP server using one of the AUTH methods PLAIN, LOGIN or CRAM-MD5 (see RFC2554 for details). This module can be expanded and is a very first implementation. (Updated, yes there was a typo) |

=head1 NAME
Net::SMTP_auth - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Client with AUTHenticat
+ion
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::SMTP_auth;
# Constructors
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost');
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost', Timeout => 60);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements a client interface to the SMTP and ESMTP
protocol AUTH service extension, enabling a perl5 application to talk
to and authenticate against SMTP servers. This documentation assumes
that you are familiar with the concepts of the SMTP protocol described
+
in RFC821 and with the AUTH service extension described in RFC2554.
A new Net::SMTP_auth object must be created with the I<new> method. On
+ce
this has been done, all SMTP commands are accessed through this object
+.
The Net::SMTP_auth class is a subclass of Net::SMTP, which itself is
a subclass of Net::Cmd and IO::Socket::INET.
=head1 EXAMPLES
This example authenticates via CRAM-MD5 and sends a small message to
the postmaster at the SMTP server known as mailhost:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP_auth;
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost');
$smtp->auth('CRAM-MD5', 'user', 'password');
$smtp->mail($ENV{USER});
$smtp->to('postmaster');
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: postmaster\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=over 4
=item new Net::SMTP_auth [ HOST, ] [ OPTIONS ]
This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP_auth object. It is
taken from Net::SMTP as all other methods (except I<auth> and
I<auth_types>) are, too.
=head1 METHODS
Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false
+>
value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a m
+ethod
states that it returns a value, failure will be returned as I<undef> o
+r an
empty list.
=over 4
=item auth_types ()
Returns the AUTH methods supported by the server in a space separated
string. This string is exacly the line given by the SMTP server after
the C<EHLO> command containing the keyword C<AUTH>.
=item auth ( AUTH, USER, PASSWORD )
Authenticates the user C<USER> via the authentication method C<AUTH>
and the password C<PASSWORD>. Returns I<true> if successful and I<fals
+e>
if the authentication failed. Remember that the connection is not clos
+ed
if the authentication fails. You may issue a different authentication
attempt. If you once are successfully authenticated, you cannot send
the C<AUTH> command again.
