NAME¶

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AuthRes - use Authentication-Results header fields

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

This plugin parses Authentication-Results header fields and can supply the results obtained to other plugins, so as to avoid repeating checks that have been performed already.

ADMINISTRATOR OPTIONS¶

authres_networks internal/trusted/all (default: internal)

Process Authenticated-Results headers set by servers from these networks (refers to SpamAssassin *_networks zones). Any header outside this is completely ignored (affects all module settings).

 internal   = internal_networks
 trusted    = internal_networks + trusted_networks
 all        = all above + all external
    

Setting "all" is safe only if your MX servers filter properly all incoming A-R headers, and you use authres_trusted_authserv to match your authserv-id. This is suitable for default OpenDKIM for example. These settings might also be required if your filters do not insert A-R header to correct position above the internal Received header (some known offenders: OpenDKIM, OpenDMARC, amavisd-milter).

authres_trusted_authserv authservid1 id2 ... (default: none)

Trusted authentication server IDs (the domain-name-like first word of Authentication-Results field, also known as "authserv-id").

Note that if set, ALL A-R headers are ignored unless a match is found.

Use strongly recommended, possibly along with authres_networks all.

authres_ignored_authserv authservid1 id2 ... (default: none)

Ignored authentication server IDs (the domain-name-like first word of Authentication-Results field, also known as "authserv-id").

Any A-R header is ignored if match is found.

METADATA¶

Parsed headers are stored in $pms->{authres_parsed}, as a hash of array of hashes where results are collected by method. For example, the header field:

  Authentication-Results: server.example.com;
    spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=bounce.example.org;
    dkim=pass header.i=@example.org;
    dkim=fail header.i=@another.signing.domain.example

Produces the following structure:

 $pms->{authres_parsed} = {
   'dkim' => [
     {
       'properties' => {
         'header' => {
           'i' => '@example.org'
         }
       },
       'authserv' => 'server.example.com',
       'result' => 'pass',
       'version' => 1,
       'reason' => ''
     },
     {
       'properties' => {
         'header' => {
           'i' => '@another.signing.domain.example'
         }
       },
       'result' => 'fail',
       'authserv' => 'server.example.com',
       'version' => 1,
       'reason' => ''
     },
   ],
 }

Within each array, the order of results is the original, which should be most recent results first.

For checking result of methods, $pms->{authres_result} is available:

 $pms->{authres_result} = {
   'dkim' => 'pass',
   'spf' => 'fail',
 }

EVAL FUNCTIONS¶

header RULENAME eval:check_authres_result(method, result)

Can be used to check results.

  ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AuthRes
  ifplugin !(Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF)
    header  SPF_PASS      eval:check_authres_result('spf', 'pass')
    header  SPF_FAIL      eval:check_authres_result('spf', 'fail')
    header  SPF_SOFTFAIL  eval:check_authres_result('spf', 'softfail')
    header  SPF_TEMPFAIL  eval:check_authres_result('spf', 'tempfail')
  endif
  ifplugin !(Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM)
    header  DKIM_VERIFIED  eval:check_authres_result('dkim', 'pass')
    header  DKIM_INVALID   eval:check_authres_result('dkim', 'fail')
  endif
  endif
