NAME¶
Mail::Message::Construct::Bounce - bounce a Mail::Message
SYNOPSIS¶
$message->bounce(To => 'you')->send;
DESCRIPTION¶
Complex functionality on Mail::Message objects is implemented in different files
which are autoloaded. This file implements the functionality related to
bouncing messages off to other destinations.
METHODS¶
Constructing a message¶
- $obj->bounce([RG-OBJECT|OPTIONS])
- The program calling this method considers itself as an
intermediate step in the message delivery process; it therefore leaves a
resent group of header fields as trace.
When a message is received, the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) adds a
"Received" field to the header. As OPTIONS, you may specify
lines which are added to the resent group of that received field.
"Resent-*" is prepended before the field-names automatically,
unless already present.
You may also specify an instantiated Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup (RG)
object. See Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup::new() for the
available options. This is required if you want to add a new resent group:
create a new "Received" line in the header as well.
If you are planning to change the body of a bounce message, don't! Bounced
messages have the same message-id as the original message, and therefore
should have the same content (message-ids are universally unique). If you
still insist, use Mail::Message::body().
example:
my $bounce = $folder->message(3)->bounce(To => 'you', Bcc => 'everyone');
$bounce->send;
$outbox->addMessage($bounce);
my $rg = Mail::Message::Head::ResentGroup->new(To => 'you',
Received => 'from ... by ...');
$msg->bounce($rg)->send;
DIAGNOSTICS¶
- Error: Method bounce requires To, Cc, or Bcc
- The message bounce() method forwards a received
message off to someone else without modification; you must specified it's
new destination. If you have the urge not to specify any destination, you
probably are looking for reply(). When you wish to modify the
content, use forward().
