=head1 VERSION

    v0.21.3

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Mail::Make> is a strict, validating MIME email builder with a fluent interface.

All RFC 2822 envelope fields (C<From>, C<To>, C<Cc>, C<Bcc>, C<Subject>, C<Date>, C<Message-ID>, C<In-Reply-To>, C<References>, C<Reply-To>, C<Sender>) are stored in a L<Mail::Make::Headers> instance accessible via L</headers>, eliminating any duplication between C<Mail::Make>'s own fields and the final entity's headers.

The MIME structure is assembled lazily when L</as_entity>, L</as_string>, or L</print> is called. Structure selection is automatic:

=over 4

=item * plain only → C<text/plain>

=item * html only → C<text/html>

=item * plain + html → C<multipart/alternative>

=item * above + inline parts → wrapped in C<multipart/related>

=item * above + attachments → wrapped in C<multipart/mixed>

=back

Non-ASCII display names in address fields and non-ASCII subjects are RFC 2047 encoded automatically.

L</as_string> returns a plain string, consistent with C<MIME::Entity::stringify>.

L</as_string_ref> returns a B<scalar reference> to avoid a string copy, useful for large messages. L</print> writes directly to a filehandle without buffering the message in memory at all, and is the recommended approach for very large messages.

When L</use_temp_file> is set, or the assembled message size would exceed L</max_body_in_memory_size>, L</as_string_ref> spools to a temporary file during serialisation and reads it back, keeping peak memory use to a single copy rather than two overlapping buffers.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new( [%opts] )

Creates a new C<Mail::Make> object. Takes an hash or hash reference of options. Supported options are:

=over 4

=item * C<max_body_in_memory_size>

Sets the byte threshold above which L</as_string_ref> spools to a temporary file rather than building the message in RAM. Set to C<0> or C<undef> to disable the threshold entirely. Default: C<$Mail::Make::MAX_BODY_IN_MEMORY_SIZE> (1 MiB).

=item * C<use_temp_file>

When true, L</as_string_ref> always spools to a temporary file regardless of message size. Useful when you know the message will be large, or when you want to bound peak memory use unconditionally. Default: false.

=back

=head2 build( %params )

An alternate hash-based constructor.

Takes an hash or hash reference of options.

Recognised parameters are: L<from|/from>, L<to|/to>, L<cc|/cc>, L<bcc|/bcc>, L<date|/date>, L<reply_to|/reply_to>, L<sender|/sender>, L<subject|/subject>, L<in_reply_to|/in_reply_to>, L<message_id|/message_id>, L<references|/references>, L<plain|/plain>, L<html|/html>, C<plain_opts>, C<html_opts>, C<headers>.

When using the standard mail envelop headers, C<build> will call each respective method, such as L<from|/from>, L<to|/to>, etc.

When passing the C<plain> parameter, it will call L<plain|/plain>, and passing it the optional hash reference of parameters provided with C<plain_opts>

Likewise when passing the C<html> parameter, it will call L<html|/html>, and passing it the optional hash reference of parameters provided with C<html_opts>

You can also provide additional mail envelop headers by providing the parameter C<headers> as an hash reference.

For each element of that hash reference, it will call L<header/header>

Returns the populated C<Mail::Make> object, or upon error, set an L<error object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context or an empty list in list context.

=head1 FLUENT METHODS

All setter methods return C<$self> to allow chaining. Called without arguments, they act as getters and return the stored value (delegating to the internal L<Mail::Make::Headers> object).

=head2 attach( %opts )

    # Positional shorthand: path, type, and filename are auto-detected
    $mail->attach( '/path/to/report.pdf' );

    # Explicit form
    $mail->attach(
        path     => $pdf_path,
        type     => 'application/pdf',
        filename => 'report.pdf',
    ); # returns $mail

Adds a downloadable attachment, and returns the current instance for chaining.

Takes either a single positional file path as a shorthand, or an hash or hash reference of parameters.

When a single plain scalar or stringifiable object is provided and it resolves to an existing file on disk, C<path>, C<type>, and C<filename> are set automatically. Additional named options may still be passed after the path:

    $mail->attach( '/path/to/report.pdf', encoding => 'base64' );

Requires either C<path> or C<data> when using the named-parameter form.

Options are:

=over 4

=item * C<charset>

The optional charset of the attachment.

=item * C<description>

A short description.

=item * C<encoding>

The encoding of the attachment, such as C<zip>, C<gzip>, C<bzip2>, etc..

=item * C<filename>

The attachment filename as displayed to the reader.

=item * C<type>

        filename => 'Yamato,Inc-Logo.png',
        cid      => 'logo@yamato-inc',
    ); # returns $mail

Adds an inline part (e.g. an embedded image referenced via C<cid:> in HTML), and returns the current instance for chaining.

Takes an hash or hash reference of parameters.

Requires either <path> or C<data> and either C<id> or C<cid>.

Supported parameters are:

=over 4

=item * C<boundary>

The boundary used.

=item * C<charset>

=item * C<cid> or C<id>

The attachment ID (C<Content-ID>)

=item * C<data>

The attachement raw data.

=item * C<debug>

An unsigned integer to enable debugging.

=item * C<description>

=item * C<encoding>

The encoding of the attachment, such as C<zip>, C<gzip>, C<bzip2>, etc..

=item * C<filename>

The attachment filename as displayed to the reader.

=item * C<path>

Returns the current instance of C<Mail::Make>

With one argument: returns the current value of the named header.

=head2 headers()

    my $headers = $mail->headers; # Mail::Make::Headers

Returns the internal L<Mail::Make::Headers> object. Use this for operations not covered by the fluent methods, such as setting C<X-*> headers or reading back any field.

If the option C<domain> is not provided, it will use L<Sys::Hostname/hostname> to guess the domain name.

=item * C<strict>

A boolean value (C<1> or C<0>).

When this is set to true, L<message_id>|Mail::Make::Headers/message_id> will call C<_validate_message_id_value> in L<Mail::Make::Headers> to thoroughly validate the value provided. This means, it will reject the value if:

=over 8

=item 1. It contains any non-ASCII or spaces/control characters.

=item 2. It is not wrapped in angle brackets: C<< < >> and C<< > >>

=item 3. Does not have exactly one at-mark C<@>

=head1 OUTPUT METHODS

=head2 as_entity

    my $entity = $mail->as_entity; # Returns a Mail::Make::Entity object

Assembles and returns the top-level L<Mail::Make::Entity> based on the various content that has been specified, such as plain text, html mail, attachments, or inline attachments.

The MIME structure is selected automatically (see L</DESCRIPTION>). Envelope headers are merged into the entity using C<init_header> semantics: fields already set on the entity (C<Content-Type>, C<MIME-Version>, etc.) are never overwritten.

If no C<Message-ID> is set yet, it will compute one.

C<MIME-Version> will be set to C<1.0> no matter what value may have been set previously.

The computed value is cached, so repetitive calls will return the cached value.

If an error occurs, it sets an L<exception object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context, or an empty list in list context.

=head2 as_string

    my $string = $mail->as_string;

Assembles the message and returns it as a plain string, consistent with C<MIME::Entity::stringify>. This is the form suitable for direct printing, string interpolation, and most downstream consumers.

For large messages, prefer L</print> (no buffering) or L</as_string_ref> (no copy on return).

This method calls L</as_entity>, and returns the value returned by L<Mail::Make::Entity/as_string>, passing it whatever value was provided.

If an error occurs, it sets an L<exception object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context, or an empty list in list context.

=head2 as_string_ref

    my $scalar_ref = $mail->as_string_ref;

Assembles the message and returns it as a B<scalar reference> (or a L<Module::Generic::Scalar> object, which stringifies as needed). No extra string copy is made during the fast path.

When L</use_temp_file> is true, B<or> the serialised entity size returned by L<Mail::Make::Entity/length> exceeds L</max_body_in_memory_size>, the message is written to a C<Module::Generic::Scalar> buffer via its in-memory filehandle.
This keeps peak RAM use to a single copy of the assembled message.

If an error occurs, it sets an L<exception object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context, or an empty list in list context.

=head2 max_body_in_memory_size( [$bytes] )

Gets or sets the byte threshold above which L</as_string_ref> spools to a temporary file rather than building the message in RAM. Set to C<0> or C<undef> to disable the threshold entirely. Default: C<$Mail::Make::MAX_BODY_IN_MEMORY_SIZE> (1 MiB).

=head2 print( $fh )

    $mail->print( $fh ) || die( $mail->error );

Writes the fully assembled message to a filehandle without buffering it in memory. This is the recommended approach for very large messages: the MIME tree is serialised part by part directly to C<$fh>, keeping memory use proportional to the largest single part rather than the total message size.

This returns the current instance of L<Mail::Make> for chaining.

If an error occurs, it sets an L<exception object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context, or an empty list in list context.

=head2 smtpsend( %opts )

    my @recipients = $mail->smtpsend( Host => $smtp );

    my $rv = $mail->smtpsend(
        Host  => '127.0.0.1',
        Port  => $port,
        Hello => 'test.local',
    );

    my $recipients_array_ref = $mail->smtpsend(
        Host     => '127.0.0.1',
        Port     => $port,
        Hello    => 'test.local',
        MailFrom => 'bounce@example.com',
    );

Assembles the message and submits it to an SMTP server via L<Net::SMTP>, which is a core perl module, and loaded only when this method is called.

This takes a hash or hash reference of options.

Credential and recipient validation is performed B<before> any network connection is attempted, so configuration errors are reported immediately without consuming network resources.

Recognised options:

=over 4

=item C<AuthMechanisms>

Space-separated list of SASL mechanism names in preference order.

Defaults to C<"PLAIN LOGIN">, which are safe and universally supported over an encrypted channel (STARTTLS or SSL).

The actual mechanism used is the intersection of this list and what the server advertises. If no intersection exists, deprecated challenge-response mechanisms (C<DIGEST-MD5>, C<CRAM-MD5>, C<GSSAPI>) are excluded and the remainder of the server's list is tried.

=item C<Debug>

Boolean. Enables L<Net::SMTP> debug output.

=item C<Hello>

The FQDN sent in the EHLO/HELO greeting.

=item C<Host>

Hostname, IP address, or an already-connected L<Net::SMTP> object. If an existing object is passed, it is used as-is and B<not> quit on completion (the caller retains ownership of the connection).

If omitted, the colon-separated list in C<$ENV{SMTPHOSTS}> is tried first, then C<mailhost> and C<localhost> in that order.

=item C<MailFrom>

The envelope sender address (C<MAIL FROM>). Defaults to the bare addr-spec extracted from the C<From:> header.

=item C<Password>

Password for SMTP authentication. May be:

=over 4

=item * A plain string.

=item * A C<CODE> reference called with no arguments at authentication time.

Useful for reading credentials from a keyring or secrets manager without storing them in memory until needed:

    Password => sub { MyKeyring::get('smtp') }

=back

=item C<Port>

SMTP port number. Common values:

=over 4

=item * C<25>  - plain SMTP (default when C<SSL> is false)

=item * C<465> - SMTPS, direct SSL/TLS (use with C<< SSL => 1 >>)

=item * C<587> - submission, usually STARTTLS (use with C<< StartTLS => 1 >>)

=back

=item C<SSL>

Boolean. When true, the connection is wrapped in SSL/TLS from the start (SMTPS, typically port 465).

Requires L<IO::Socket::SSL>.

=item C<StartTLS>

Boolean. When true, a plain connection is established first and then upgraded to TLS via the SMTP C<STARTTLS> extension (typically port 587).

Requires L<IO::Socket::SSL>. Ignored when C<Host> is a pre-built L<Net::SMTP> object.

=item C<SSL_opts>

Hash reference of additional options passed to L<IO::Socket::SSL> during the SSL/TLS handshake. For example:

    SSL_opts => { SSL_verify_mode => 0 }           # disable peer cert check
    SSL_opts => { SSL_ca_file => '/etc/ssl/ca.pem' }

=item C<Timeout>

Connection and command timeout in seconds, passed directly to L<Net::SMTP>.

=item C<To>, C<Cc>, C<Bcc>

Override the RCPT TO list. Each may be a string or an array reference of addresses. When omitted, the corresponding message headers are used.

C<Bcc:> is always stripped from the outgoing message headers before transmission, per RFC 2822 §3.6.3.

=item C<Username>

Login name for SMTP authentication (SASL). Requires L<Authen::SASL>.

Must be combined with C<Password>. Validated before any connection is made.

=back

B<Typical usage examples:>

    # Plain SMTP, no auth (LAN relay)
    $mail->smtpsend( Host => 'mail.example.com' );

    # SMTPS (direct TLS, port 465)
    $mail->smtpsend(
        Host     => 'smtp.example.com',
        Port     => 465,
        SSL      => 1,
        Username => 'jack@example.com',
        Password => 'secret',
    );

    # Submission with STARTTLS (port 587) and password callback
    $mail->smtpsend(
        Host     => 'smtp.example.com',
        Port     => 587,
        StartTLS => 1,
        Username => 'jack@example.com',
        Password => sub { MyKeyring::get('smtp_pass') },
    );

Returns the list of accepted recipient addresses in list context, or a reference to that list in scalar context.

If an error occurs, it sets an L<exception object|Mail::Make::Exception>, and returns C<undef> in scalar context, or an empty list in list context.

=head2 use_temp_file( [$bool] )

When true, L</as_string_ref> always spools to a temporary file regardless of message size. Useful when you know the message will be large, or when you want to bound peak memory use unconditionally. Default: false.

=head1 GPG METHODS

These methods delegate to L<Mail::Make::GPG>, which requires L<IPC::Run> and a working C<gpg> (or C<gpg2>) installation. All three methods produce RFC 3156-compliant messages and return a new L<Mail::Make> object suitable for passing directly to C<smtpsend()>.

=head2 gpg_encrypt( %opts )

Encrypts this message for one or more recipients and returns a new L<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 3156 C<multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"> message.

Required options:

=over 4

=item Recipients => \@addrs_or_key_ids

Array reference of recipient e-mail addresses or key fingerprints. Each recipient's public key must already be present in the local GnuPG keyring, unless C<AutoFetch> is enabled.

=back

Optional options:

=over 4

=item C<< AutoFetch => $bool >>

When true and C<KeyServer> is set, calls C<gpg --locate-keys> for each recipient before encryption. Default: C<0>.

=item C<< Digest => $algorithm >>

Hash algorithm for the signature embedded in the encrypted payload.
Default: C<SHA256>.

=item C<< GpgBin => $path >>

Full path to the C<gpg> executable. Defaults to searching C<gpg2> then C<gpg> in C<PATH>.

=item C<< KeyServer => $url >>

Keyserver URL for auto-fetching recipient public keys (e.g. C<'keys.openpgp.org'>). Only consulted when C<AutoFetch> is true.

=back

=head2 gpg_sign( %opts )

Signs this message and returns a new L<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 3156 C<multipart/signed; protocol="application/pgp-signature"> message with a detached, ASCII-armoured signature.

Required options:

=over 4

=item C<< KeyId => $fingerprint_or_id >>

Signing key fingerprint or short ID (e.g. C<'35ADBC3AF8355E845139D8965F3C0261CDB2E752'>).

=back

Optional options:

=over 4

=item C<< Digest => $algorithm >>

Hash algorithm. Default: C<SHA256>.

Valid values: C<SHA256>, C<SHA384>, C<SHA512>, C<SHA1>.

=item C<< GpgBin => $path >>

Full path to the C<gpg> executable.

=item C<< Passphrase => $string_or_coderef >>

Passphrase to unlock the secret key. May be a plain string or a C<CODE> reference called with no arguments at signing time. When omitted, GnuPG's agent handles passphrase prompting.

=back

=head2 gpg_sign_encrypt( %opts )

Signs then encrypts this message. Returns a new L<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 3156 C<multipart/encrypted> message containing a signed and encrypted OpenPGP payload.

Accepts all options from both L</gpg_sign> and L</gpg_encrypt>.

B<Note:> C<KeyId> and C<Recipients> are both required.

B<Typical usage:>

    # Sign only
    my $signed = $mail->gpg_sign(
        KeyId      => '35ADBC3AF8355E845139D8965F3C0261CDB2E752',
        Passphrase => 'my-passphrase',   # or: sub { MyKeyring::get('gpg') }
    ) || die $mail->error;
    $signed->smtpsend( Host => 'smtp.example.com' );

    # Encrypt only
    my $encrypted = $mail->gpg_encrypt(
        Recipients => [ 'alice@example.com' ],
    ) || die $mail->error;

    # Sign then encrypt
    my $protected = $mail->gpg_sign_encrypt(
        KeyId      => '35ADBC3AF8355E845139D8965F3C0261CDB2E752',
        Passphrase => sub { MyKeyring::get_passphrase() },
        Recipients => [ 'alice@example.com', 'bob@example.com' ],
    ) || die $mail->error;

=head1 S/MIME METHODS

These methods delegate to L<Mail::Make::SMIME>, which requires L<Crypt::SMIME> (an XS module wrapping OpenSSL C<libcrypto>). All certificates and keys must be supplied in PEM format, either as file paths or as PEM strings.

=head2 Memory usage

All three methods load the complete serialised message into memory before performing any cryptographic operation. This is a fundamental constraint imposed by two factors: the L<Crypt::SMIME> API accepts only Perl strings (no filehandle or streaming interface), and the underlying protocols themselves require the entire content to be available before the result can be emitted, thus signing requires a complete hash before the signature can be appended, and PKCS#7 encryption requires the total payload length to be declared in the ASN.1 DER header before any ciphertext is written.

For typical email messages this is not a concern. If you anticipate very large attachments, consider L<Mail::Make::GPG> instead, which delegates to the C<gpg> command-line tool via L<IPC::Run> and can handle arbitrary message sizes through temporary files. A future C<v0.2.0> of L<Mail::Make::SMIME> may add a similar C<openssl smime> backend.

See L<Mail::Make::SMIME/"MEMORY USAGE AND LIMITATIONS"> for a full discussion.

=head2 smime_encrypt( %opts )

    $encrypted = $mail->smime_encrypt(
        RecipientCert => $smime_rec_cert,
    );

Encrypts this message for one or more recipients and returns a new C<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 5751 C<application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data> message.

Takes an hash or hash reference of options.

Required options:

=over 4

=item C<< RecipientCert => $pem_string_or_path >>

Recipient certificate in PEM format (for encryption). May also be an array reference of PEM strings or file paths for multi-recipient encryption.

=back

Optional options:

=over 4

=item C<< CACert => $pem_string_or_path >>

CA certificate to include for chain verification.

=back

=head2 smime_sign( %opts )

    my $signed = $mail->smime_sign(
        Cert   => $smime_cert,
        Key    => $smime_key,
        CACert => $smime_ca, # optional
    );

Signs this message with a detached S/MIME signature and returns a new C<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 5751 C<multipart/signed> message.

The signature is always detached, which allows non-S/MIME-aware clients to read the message body.

Required options:

=over 4

=item C<< Cert => $pem_string_or_path >>

Signer certificate in PEM format.

=item C<< Key => $pem_string_or_path >>

Private key in PEM format.

=back

Optional options:

=over 4

=item C<< KeyPassword => $string_or_coderef >>

Passphrase for an encrypted private key, or a CODE ref that returns one.

=item C<< CACert => $pem_string_or_path >>

CA certificate to include in the signature for chain verification.

=back

=head2 smime_sign_encrypt( %opts )

    my $result = $mail->smime_sign_encrypt(
        Cert          => $smime_cert,
        Key           => $smime_key,
        RecipientCert => $smime_rec_cert,
        CACert        => $smime_ca, # optional
    );

Signs this message then encrypts the signed result. Returns a new C<Mail::Make> object whose entity is an RFC 5751 enveloped message containing a signed payload.

Accepts all options from both L</smime_sign> and L</smime_encrypt>.

B<Note:> C<Cert>, C<Key>, and C<RecipientCert> are all required.

B<Typical usage:>

    # Sign only
    my $signed = $mail->smime_sign(
        Cert   => '/path/to/my.cert.pem',
        Key    => '/path/to/my.key.pem',
        CACert => '/path/to/ca.crt',
    ) || die $mail->error;
    $signed->smtpsend( Host => 'smtp.example.com' );

    # Encrypt only
    my $encrypted = $mail->smime_encrypt(
        RecipientCert => '/path/to/recipient.cert.pem',
    ) || die $mail->error;

    # Sign then encrypt
    my $protected = $mail->smime_sign_encrypt(
        Cert          => '/path/to/my.cert.pem',
        Key           => '/path/to/my.key.pem',
        RecipientCert => '/path/to/recipient.cert.pem',
    ) || die $mail->error;

=head1 PRIVATE METHODS

=head2 _default_domain

Returns a FQDN for auto-generated C<Message-ID> values. Uses L<Sys::Hostname> and appends C<.local> when the hostname contains no dot.

Falls back to C<mail.make.local>.

=head2 _encode_address( $addr_string )

Encodes the display-name portion of an RFC 2822 address using RFC 2047 when the display name contains non-ASCII characters. The addr-spec is never modified.

=head2 _encode_header( $string )

Encodes an arbitrary header string for the wire using RFC 2047 encoded-words.

Delegates to L<Mail::Make::Headers::Subject>.
