=head1 NAME
Email::Sender::Transport::Mbox - deliver mail to an mbox on disk
=head1 VERSION
version 2.601
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This transport delivers into an mbox. The mbox file may be given by the
F<filename> argument to the constructor, and defaults to F<mbox>.
The transport I<currently> assumes that the mbox is in F<mboxo> format, but
this may change or be configurable in the future.
=head1 PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should
work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to
lower the minimum required perl.
