SYNOPSIS

 $sender->send($message);

See SYNOPSIS in Mail::Transport::Send

DESCRIPTION

Implements mail transport using the external 'Sendmail' program. When instantiated, the mailer will look for the binary in specific system directories, and the first version found is taken.

Some people use Postfix as MTA. Postfix can be installed as replacement for Sendmail: is provides a program with the same name and options. So, this module supports postfix as well.

WARNING: When you do bulk email sending with local delivery via Postfix, you can probably better use the SMTP backend to connect to postfix. The sendmail command delivers to maildrop. From maildrop, the pickupd will only sequentially insert messages into cleanup. That process can take considerable elapse time. Directly inserting via smtpd will parallellize the cleanup process.
