NAME
       Mail::Util - mail utility functions

INHERITANCE
	Mail::Util
	  is a Exporter

SYNOPSIS
	 use Mail::Util qw( ... );

DESCRIPTION
       This package provides several mail related utility functions. Any
       function required must by explicitly listed on the use line to be
       exported into the calling package.

FUNCTIONS
       mailaddress( [ADDRESS] )
	   Return a guess at the current users mail address. The user can
	   force the return value by setting the MAILADDRESS environment
	   variable.  [2.10] You may set the ADDRESS via the parameter.

	   WARNING: When not supplied via the environment variable,
	   <mailaddress> looks at various configuration files and other
	   environmental data. Although this seems to be smart behavior, this
	   is not predictable enough (IMHO) to be used.	 Please set the
	   MAILADDRESS explicitly, and do not trust on the "automatic
	   detection", even when that produces a correct address (on the
	   moment)

	   example:

	    # in your main script
	    $ENV{MAILADDRESS} = 'me@example.com';

	    # everywhere else
	    use Mail::Util 'mailaddress';
	    print mailaddress;

	    # since v2.10
	    mailaddress "me@example.com";

       maildomain()
	   Attempt to determine the current user mail domain string via the
	   following methods

	   ·   Look for the MAILDOMAIN environment variable, which can be set
	       from outside the program.  This is by far the best way to
	       configure the domain.

	   ·   Look for a sendmail.cf file and extract DH parameter

	   ·   Look for a smail config file and usr the first host defined in
	       hostname(s)

	   ·   Try an SMTP connect (if Net::SMTP exists) first to mailhost
	       then localhost

	   ·   Use value from Net::Domain::domainname (if Net::Domain exists)

	   WARNING: On modern machines, there is only one good way to provide
	   information to this method: the first; always explicitly configure
	   the MAILDOMAIN.

	   example:

	    # in your main script
	    $ENV{MAILDOMAIN} = 'example.com';

	    # everywhere else
	    use Mail::Util 'maildomain';
	    print maildomain;

       read_mbox(FILE)
	   Read FILE, a binmail mailbox file, and return a list of
	   references.	Each reference is a reference to an array containing
	   one message.

	   WARNING: This method does not quote lines which accidentally also
	   start with the message separator "From", so this implementation can
	   be considered broken.  See Mail::Box::Mbox
