NAME

6       Mail::DKIM::Policy - abstract base class for originator "signing"
7       policies
8

SYNOPSIS

10         # get all policies that apply to a verified message
11         foreach my $policy ($dkim->policies)
12         {
13
14             # the name of this policy
15             my $name = $policy->name;
16
17             # the location in DNS where this policy was found
18             my $location = $policy->location;
19
20             # apply this policy to the message being verified
21             my $result = $policy->apply($dkim);
22
23         }
24

DESCRIPTION

26       Between the various versions of the DomainKeys/DKIM standards, several
27       different forms of sender "signing" policies have been defined.  In
28       order for the Mail::DKIM library to support these different policies,
29       it uses several different subclasses. All subclasses support this
30       general interface, so that a program using Mail::DKIM can support any
31       and all policies found for a message.
32

METHODS

34       These methods are supported by all classes implementing the
35       Mail::DKIM::Policy interface.
36
37   apply()
38       Apply the policy to the results of a DKIM verifier.
39
40         my $result = $policy->apply($dkim_verifier);
41
42       The caller must provide an instance of Mail::DKIM::Verifier, one which
43       has already been fed the message being verified.
44
45       Possible results are:
46
47       accept
48           The message is approved by the sender signing policy.
49
50       reject
51           The message is rejected by the sender signing policy.
52
53       neutral
54           The message is neither approved nor rejected by the sender signing
55           policy. It can be considered suspicious.
56
57   as_string()
58       The policy as a string.
59
60       Note that the string returned by this method will not necessarily have
61       the tags ordered the same as the text record found in DNS.
62
63   is_implied_default_policy()
64       Is this policy implied?
65
66         my $is_implied = $policy->is_implied_default_policy;
67
68       If you fetch the policy for a particular domain, but that domain does
69       not have a policy published, then the "default policy" is in effect.
70       Use this method to detect when that happens.
71
72   location()
73       Where the policy was fetched from.
74
75       This is generally a domain name, the domain name where the policy was
76       published.
77
78       If nothing is published for the domain, and the default policy was
79       returned instead, the location will be "undef".
80
81   name()
82       Identify what type of policy this is.
83
84       This currently returns strings like "sender", "author", and "ADSP".  It
85       is subject to change in the next version of Mail::DKIM.
