Greetings, My name is Alceu and I'm new in the list. I'm a Brazilian Perl monk and started contributing to CPAN something like two years ago.
I joining you due an advice of David to post here instead of using the CPAN Forum. I would like to develop a new module to be used as a subclass of Test::Reporter::Transport and send messages through Outlook, since using a Exchange server directly is not that easy. I'm quoting original David's message from the CPAN forum below: > Posted on Mon Jan 12 18:20:18 2009 by dagolden in response to 9705 > (See the > whole thread of 2) > > Re: Test::Reporter::Transport::Outlook > Hi, Alceu.

The available methods expects that the CPAN user will have directly access to the Internet, which I usually don't have. I think it would be great to have an webservice to use this service, but I'll try to start something about this latter. > I think it would be great for you to publish your module on CPAN.

That´s true indeed. I didn't have this situation because all dependencies that I would need to resolve before starting my tests were already resolved. I think I could implement easily modification on the object constructor to enable the user to send messages automatically (this will depend on having Redemption installed) or save the messages in the Draft folder of Outlook. > If you've got further ideas, I encourage you to subscribe to > [email protected] (send an > email to > [email protected]) and continue the conversation there, > as you'll > probably get the attention of more people. (Also, Barbie, who wrote >Mail::Outlook, is one of the > CPAN Testers leaders and may be interested.) It would be great to have some feedback from Barbie also, although this mailing list may not be the right place to do it. I think getting Redemption working with Mail::Outlook would be great to be able to send emails from Outlook automatically and being able to send messages with customized headers. By the way, how important is to have the customized headers in the email messages? I didn't send the X-Reported-Via with my test by email but the test was published in CPAN correctly.
