If you're talking about my program, then I wrote the code in all the
functions. connectsocket() basically implements what is documented in the
perlipc man page under Sockets: Client/Server Communication
The headers are handled by the functions getheader and parseaddress.
getheader calls parse address to separate names from email addresses. It
then puts all to, cc and bcc addresses into @rcpts and returns that too.
smtpauthenticate then uses these values to address the recipients.
