7-bit transmission via Net::SMTP?

[Guru03]

Hi,

I must delivery an email message from a SMTP server to an another.

The transmission MUST be 7-bit coded (*NOT* 8BITMIME).

It's ok to use Net::SMTP? The documentation about it don't tell me about
the type of transmission. And the code isn't clear.

It must be able to delivery MIME 1.0 format emails with special characters
(i.e. non US keyboard) coded in 8-bit format (with some attachments in UTF8
code converted into BASE64 that already are in 7bit format).

Any idea?

You *may* be able to use MIME::Lite to do this. I'm not 100% sure about
Net::SMTP.

You can use Net::SMTP, but it doesn't do any recoding for you -- so if
your transfer data is declared to be 8-bit (so using 'Bits => 8' among
the options for the "mail" method) and the remote doesn't announce
support for 8-bit transfers, the transfer will be aborted.

It must be able to delivery MIME 1.0 format emails with special characters
(i.e. non US keyboard) coded in 8-bit format (with some attachments in UTF8
code converted into BASE64 that already are in 7bit format).

So, as long as you pre-code your message body and attachments into such
form that they only contain printable ASCII, you won't have a problem
with Net::SMTP.
