It works, but it doesn't do what it says on the tin. The module's name implies that it uses sendmail to send mail, it does not it talks RFC(2)821 to a given server.
And its lack of support for SMTP AUTH is a draw back for some of us forced to use 3rd party sites for hosting.
From what little the documentation gives away this may be a useful module. However the lack of documentation is prohibitive for its use, so I'll stick with Sendmail::Milter which has a good example in its synopsis.
What it needs is a simple HOW-TO. The documentation doesn't even tell you how to set the TCP port for your milter to listen on.
Nice idea, but basically it doesn't work. I tried it on a couple of different platforms (one Linux and the other Darwin) and try as I might I always came across problems, usually associated with paths, perl5libs and the like not being set up so e.g. cpan installations wouldn't work or the wrong version of Perl was used.
Once the bugs are fixed I'm sure it'll be useful, but more work should be put into testing before (a) it's released and (b) new features are added.
Hasn't been changed for a number of years and it fails many installation tests. Is it still being maintained? If not then either it should be deleted or be handed over to someone else.
It works on simple applications, but on enterprise level programs it soon shows that it hasn't been tested that much and it has too many bugs to allow it to be rolled out on important applications.
The time taken for bugs to be fixed also causes concern for its use on mission critical programs.
Doesn't work. Even a test program fails because the Java backend can't start Firefox. I guess this is more Selenium problem than a T:W:S problem, but without a working back-end what's the point of a front-end?
