# ABSTRACT: Base class for objects that send log messages via email

=head1 NAME

Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email

=head1 VERSION

version 2.29

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender;

  use Log::Dispatch::Email;
  use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );

  sub send_email {
      my $self = shift;
      my %p    = @_;

      # Send email somehow.  Message is in $p{message}
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module should be used as a base class to implement
Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email.
Implementing a subclass simply requires the code shown in the
L<SYNOPSIS> with a real implementation of the C<send_email()> method.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard
parameters documented in L<Log::Dispatch::Output>:

=over 4

=item * subject ($)

The subject of the email messages which are sent.  Defaults to "$0:
log email"

=item * to ($ or \@)

Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email
addresses.  Required.

=item * from ($)

A string containing an email address.  This is optional and may not
work with all mail sending methods.

=item * buffered (0 or 1)

This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is
given or whether it stores them up and sends them all at once.  The
default is to buffer messages.

=back

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item * send_email(%p)

This is the method that must be subclassed.  For now the only
parameter in the hash is 'message'.

=item * flush

If the object is buffered, then this method will call the
C<send_email()> method to send the contents of the buffer and then
clear the buffer.

=item * DESTROY

On destruction, the object will call C<flush()> to send any pending
email.
