NAME

6       Mail::DKIM::DkPolicy - represents a DomainKeys Sender Signing Policy
7       record
8

VERSION

10       version 1.20200907
11

DESCRIPTION

13       DomainKeys sender signing policies are described in
14       RFC4870(historical). It is a record published in the message sender's
15       (i.e. the person who transmitted the message) DNS that describes how
16       they sign messages.
17

CONSTRUCTORS

19   fetch() - fetch a sender signing policy from DNS
20         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkPolicy->fetch(
21                          Protocol => 'dns',
22                          Sender => 'joe@example.org',
23                      );
24
25       The following named arguments are accepted:
26
27       Protocol
28           always specify "dns"
29
30       Author
31           the "author" of the message for which policy is being checked.
32           This is the first email address in the "From" header.  According to
33           RFC 2822, section 3.6.2, the "From" header lists who is responsible
34           for writing the message.
35
36       Sender
37           the "sender" of the message for which policy is being checked.
38           This is the first email address in the "Sender" header, or if there
39           is not a "Sender" header, the "From" header.  According to RFC
40           2822, section 3.6.2, the "Sender" header lists who is responsible
41           for transmitting the message.
42
43       Depending on what type of policy is being checked, both the Sender and
44       Author fields may need to be specified.
45
46       If a DNS error or timeout occurs, an exception is thrown.
47
48       Otherwise, a policy object of some sort will be returned.  If no policy
49       is actually published, then the "default policy" will be returned.  To
50       check when this happens, use
51
52         my $is_default = $policy->is_implied_default_policy;
53
54   new() - construct a default policy object
55         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkPolicy->new;
56
57   parse() - gets a policy object by parsing a string
58         my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkPolicy->parse(
59                          String => 'o=~; t=y'
60                      );
61

METHODS

63   apply() - apply the policy to the results of a DKIM verifier
64         my $result = $policy->apply($dkim_verifier);
65
66       The caller must provide an instance of Mail::DKIM::Verifier, one which
67       has already been fed the message being verified.
68
69       Possible results are:
70
71       accept
72           The message is approved by the sender signing policy.
73
74       reject
75           The message is rejected by the sender signing policy.
76
77       neutral
78           The message is neither approved nor rejected by the sender signing
79           policy. It can be considered suspicious.
80
81   flags() - get or set the flags (t=) tag
82       A vertical-bar separated list of flags.
83
84   is_implied_default_policy() - is this policy implied?
85         my $is_implied = $policy->is_implied_default_policy;
86
87       If you fetch the policy for a particular domain, but that domain does
88       not have a policy published, then the "default policy" is in effect.
89       Use this method to detect when that happens.
90
91   location() - where the policy was fetched from
92       DomainKeys policies only have per-domain policies, so this will be the
93       domain where the policy was published.
94
95       If nothing is published for the domain, and the default policy was
96       returned instead, the location will be "undef".
97
98   note() - get or set the human readable notes (n=) tag
99       Human readable notes regarding the record. Undef if no notes specified.
100
101   policy() - get or set the outbound signing policy (o=) tag
102         my $sp = $policy->policy;
103
104       Outbound signing policy for the entity. Possible values are:
105
106       "~" The default. The domain may sign some (but not all) email.
107
108       "-" The domain signs all email.
109
110   signall() - true if policy is /-"
111   testing() - checks the testing flag
112         my $testing = $policy->testing;
113
114       If nonzero, the testing flag is set on the signing policy, and the
115       verify should not consider a message suspicious based on this policy.
