DESCRIPTION
    Mail::SendVarious will try to send mail multiple ways. First it tries
    via SMTP. If that doesn't work then it tries using "/usr/sbin/sendmail".

    The "sendmail()" function can put together a message header or it you
    can hand it one. Here are the options it can take:

    envelope_from  Sets the sender email address. If creating a header, also
                   sets the email address in the "From:" header if there is
                   no "from" option.

    from           Sets the envelope sender email address if "envelope_from"
                   isn't set. If creating a header, also sets the email
                   address in the "From:" header.

    From           Set the name over the sender in the "From:" header.

    envelope_to    Sets who the message is sent to.

    to             Sets the "To:" header. Also sets who the message is sent
                   to if "envelope_to" isn't set.

    cc             Sets the "Cc:" header. Also adds who the message is sent
                   to if "envelope_to" isn't set.

    bcc            Adds to who the message is sent to.

    subject        Specifies the "Subject:" header.

    xheader        Specifies extra header lines to be added if a header is
                   generated.

    header         Specifies the complete message header. "xheader" will be
                   ignored. No "To:", "From:", "Cc:" or "Subject:" header
                   will be generated.

    body           Specifies the complete message body.

    message        Specifies the complete message. "header" and "body"
                   arguments will be ignored. No "To:", "From:", "Cc:" or
                   "Subject:" header will be generated.

    build_header   Specifies if a header should be generated with "To:",
                   "From:", "Cc:" and "Subject:". This overrides what what
                   otherwise might happen.

    debuglogger    Specifies a function to call for debug output. If not
                   set, no debug output is generated.

    errorlogger    Specifies a function to call for error output. If not
                   set, errors are reported on "STDERR".

    hostlist       Specifies a list of hosts to try to send to via SMTP.
                   This should be an array refrence. If not set,
                   @Mail::SendVarious::mail_hostlist is used. The default
                   for @Mail::SendVarious::mail_hostlist is 127.0.0.1.

    mail_command   Specifies a command to use if sending via SMTP fails.
                   This should be an array refrence. If not set,
                   @Mail::SendVarious::mail_command is used. The default for
                   @Mail::SendVarious::mail_command is "/usr/sbin/sendmail
                   -oeml -i".

    no_rejects     Normally when sending via SMTP, Mail::SendVarious will
                   skip over any recipients that are rejected. Sent
                   "no_rejects" and the SMTP server will be skipped instead.
                   If "no_rejects" is not set, then any rejected recipients
                   will end up in @Mail::SendVarious::to_rejected.

    The return value from "sendmail()" is true if the message was sent and
    false otherwise. If the message was not sent, then the variable
    "Mail::SendVarious::mail_error" will be set to a description of the
    problem.

EXPORT_OK
    In addition to the standard export item of the "sendmail()" function,
    the following are available explicitly:

    $mail_error    The last error.

    make_message() An additional function "make_message()" is provided. It
                   takes the same arguemtns as "sendmail()" but does not
                   send mail. It just generates the message.

                   The following two snippets do the same thing:

                    {
                           my ($from, $message, @envelope_to) = make_message(%args);
                           sendmail(
                                   envelope_from   => $from,
                                   envelope_to     => \@envelope_to,
                                   message         => $message,
                           );
                    }

                   and

                    sendmail(%args);

    @to_rejected   Any recipients that were rejected by the SMTP server.
                   (Only if "no_rejects" isn't set).

    @mail_hostlist "(qw(127.0.0.1))"

    @mail_command  "(qw(/usr/sbin/sendmail -oeml -i))"
