Net::SMTP actually implements (at least partly) the protocol, so I 
wouldn't call it emulation.

It doesn't appear to provide much error handling though, so I think if 
you want to build a proper daemon, you'll have to get your fingers 
dirty.

Maybe better luck with Net::ESMTP or Net::SMTP::Retryable?

Mail::Mailer does appear to get the sendmail thing right.  Anyway the 
general rule is that anything on CPAN labeled ::Simple or ::Easy is at 
least partly ::Wrong or ::Broken.
