hello, I am a newbie :p I want a program to find the incoming mail server by entering an email address. for example: input: username@gmail.com result: pop.gmail.com please help! thanks
Using the Perl's Mail::Module you can get and set the email header informations. For further informations please visit the perl's CPAN search about Mail::Header
Here the sample code for extracting the header part from the mail. Code: use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use Mail::Header; my $messagefile = "mail"; #here the mail is a file which contains s data as this is for testing open(MESSAGE,"$messagefile") or die "Unable to open $messagefile:$!\n"; my $header = new Mail::Header \*MESSAGE; print Dumper \$header; close(MESSAGE); The output will be as follows Code: $VAR1 = \bless( { 'mail_hdr_foldlen' => 79, 'mail_hdr_modify' => 0, 'mail_hdr_list' => [], 'mail_hdr_hash' => {}, 'mail_hdr_mail_from' => 'KEEP', 'mail_hdr_lengths' => {} }, 'Mail::Header' );
