NAME

6       Mail::DKIM::AuthorDomainPolicy - represents an Author Domain Signing
7       Practices (ADSP) record
8

DESCRIPTION

10       The Author Domain Signing Policies (ADSP) record can be published by
11       any domain to help a receiver know what to do when it encounters an
12       unsigned message claiming to originate from that domain.
13
14       The record is published as a DNS TXT record at _adsp._domainkey.DOMAIN
15       where DOMAIN is the domain of the message's "From" address.
16
17       More details about this record can be found by reading the
18       specification itself at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5617>.

CONSTRUCTORS

21   fetch()
22       Lookup an ADSP record in DNS.
23
24         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::AuthorDomainPolicy->fetch(
25                   Protocol => "dns",
26                   Author => 'jsmith@example.org',
27                 );
28
29       If the ADSP record is found and appears to be valid, an object
30       containing that record's information will be constructed and returned.
31       If the ADSP record is blank or simply does not exist, an object
32       representing the default policy will be returned instead.  (See also
33       "is_implied_default_policy()".)  If a DNS error occurs (e.g. SERVFAIL
34       or time-out), this method will "die".
35
36   new()
37       Construct a default policy object.
38
39         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::AuthorDomainPolicy->new;
40
41   parse()
42       Construct an ADSP record from a string.
43
44         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::AuthorDomainPolicy->parse(
45                 String => "dkim=all",
46                 Domain => "aaa.example",
47             );
48

METHODS

50   apply()
51       Apply the policy to the results of a DKIM verifier.
52
53         my $result = $policy->apply($dkim_verifier);
54
55       The caller must provide an instance of Mail::DKIM::Verifier, one which
56       has already been fed the message being verified.
57
58       Possible results are:
59
60       accept
61           The message is approved by the sender signing policy.
62
63       reject
64           The message is rejected by the sender signing policy.  It can be
65           considered very suspicious.
66
67       neutral
68           The message is neither approved nor rejected by the sender signing
69           policy. It can be considered somewhat suspicious.
70
71       Note: in the future, these values may become:
72        none - no ADSP record is published
73        pass - a passing signature is present
74        fail - ADSP record is "all" and no passing signature is found
75        discard - ADSP record is "discardable" and no passing signature is
76       found
77        nxdomain - the DNS domain does not exist
78        temperror - transient error occurred
79        permerror - non-transient error occurred
80
81   is_implied_default_policy()
82       Tells whether this policy implied.
83
84         my $is_implied = $policy->is_implied_default_policy;
85
86       If you fetch the policy for a particular domain, but that domain does
87       not have a policy published, then the "default policy" is in effect.
88       Use this method to detect when that happens.
89
90   location()
91       Tells where the policy was fetched from.
92
93       If the policy is domain-wide, this will be domain where the policy was
94       published.
95
96       If the policy is user-specific, TBD.
97
98       If nothing is published for the domain, and the default policy was
99       returned instead, the location will be "undef".
100
101   policy()
102       Get or set the outbound signing policy (dkim=) tag.
103
104         my $sp = $policy->policy;
105
106       Outbound signing policy for the entity. Possible values are:
107
108       "unknown"
109           The default. The entity may sign some or all email.
110
111       "all"
112           All mail from the domain is expected to be signed, using a valid
113           Author signature, but the author does not suggest discarding mail
114           without a valid signature.
115
116       "discardable"
117           All mail from the domain is expected to be signed, using a valid
118           Author signature, and the author is so confident that non-signed
119           mail claiming to be from this domain can be automatically discarded
120           by the recipient's mail server.
121
122       "NXDOMAIN"
123           The domain is out of scope, i.e., the domain does not exist in the
124           DNS.
125
126   signall()
127       True if policy is "all".
128
129   signall_discardable()
130       True if policy is "strict".
131

BUGS

133       ยท   Section 4.3 of the specification says to perform a query on the
134           domain itself just to see if it exists. This class is not currently
135           doing that, i.e. it might report NXDOMAIN because
136           _adsp._domainkey.example.org is nonexistent, but it should not be
137           treated the same as example.org being nonexistent.
