=head1 NAME

Mail::Delivery::Net::INET4 - establish tcp connection over IPv4

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Mail::Delivery::Net::INET4;

   $mta = '127.0.0.1:25';
   $self->connect4( { _mta => $mta });

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module tries to create a socket and establish tcp connection over
IPv4. This is a typical socket program.

=head1 METHODS

$mta is a hostname or [raw_ipv4_addr]:port form, for example,
127.0.0.1:25.
