VERSION

SYNOPSIS

13         # verify a message
14         use Mail::DKIM::Verifier;
15
16         # create a verifier object
17         my $dkim = Mail::DKIM::Verifier->new();
18
19         # read an email from stdin, pass it into the verifier
20         while (<STDIN>)
21         {
22             # remove local line terminators
23             chomp;
24             s/\015$//;
25
26             # use SMTP line terminators
27             $dkim->PRINT("$_\015\012");
28         }
29         $dkim->CLOSE;
30
31         # what is the result of the verify?
32         my $result = $dkim->result;

DESCRIPTION

35       This module implements the various components of the DKIM and
36       DomainKeys message-signing and verifying standards for Internet mail.
37       It currently tries to implement these specifications:
38
39       RFC4871, for DKIM
40       RFC4870, for DomainKeys
41       draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol-06, for ARC
42
43       The module uses an object-oriented interface. You use one of two
44       different classes, depending on whether you are signing or verifying a
45       message. To sign, use the Mail::DKIM::Signer class. To verify, use the
46       Mail::DKIM::Verifier class. Simple, eh?
47
48       Likewise for ARC, use the ARC modules Mail::DKIM::ARC::Signer and
49       Mail::DKIM::ARC::Verifier
50
51       If you're sending to test libraries which expect the tags in headers to
52       be sorted, you can set $Mail::DKIM::SORTTAGS to a true value, and all
53       created headers will get sorted keys
54

KNOWN BUGS

65       Problems passing `make test' seem to usually point at a faulty DNS
66       configuration on your machine, or something weird about your OpenSSL
67       libraries.
68
69       The "author signing policy" component is still under construction. The
70       author signing policy is supposed to identify the practice of the
71       message author, so you could for example reject a message from an
72       author who claims they always sign their messages. See
73       Mail::DKIM::Policy.

75       Please report bugs to the CPAN RT, or github issue tracker.
