Mail::Util - mail utility functions use Mail::Util qw( ... ); 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.

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

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

mailaddress()
Return a guess at the current users mail address. The user can force the return value by setting the MAILADDRESS environment variable. 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) Graham Barr.
