NAME

SendmailUtil.pm -- utilities for sendmail packages.

SYNOPSIS 

  use SyslogScan::SendmailUtil;


  open(FH,"/var/log/syslog");
  my $transfer;
  while ($transfer = SyslogScan::SendmailUtil::getNextMailTranfer(\*FH))
  {
     # process the tranfer
  }

DESCRIPTION

getNextMailTransfer queries a filehandle pointing to a syslog for the next line which is a sendmail 'To:', 'From:', and 'Clone:' lines, and returns a SyslogScan::SendmailLineFrom, SyslogScan::SendmailLineTo, or SyslogScan::SendmailLineClone object.

canonAddress() routine

The canonAddress() routine modifies the address of the Sendmail routines to be all-lowercase, remove enclosing brackets, and append '@localhost' to local addresses. Modifying this routine will change how SyslogScan canonicalizes.
