It doesn 't, that 's what I said. Use Mail::Internet if you want to forge
the From header. If this is your desire, you 're probably a spammer and
my level of support drops off right here. :)

I 'm not sure I 'd call it a wrapper any more than I 'd call ANY perl
script that accesses the shell a wrapper. It opens a filehandle to the
mail process and prints accordingly.

No, Mail::Internet is more fine-grained. You provide the mail headers
you wish to sculpt your message with.

Uh-oh, spammer alert going off.

If you 're comfortable with Perl, yes.
