See Mail::DKIM::AuthorDomainPolicy for information about ADSP. It is implemented here because at one time it appeared this is what would be standardized by the IETF. It will be removed from Mail::DKIM at some point in the future. The last version of the SSP specification can be found at . .SH CONSTRUCTORS .IX Header "CONSTRUCTORS" .SS \fBfetch()\fP .IX Subsection "fetch()" Lookup a DKIM signing practices record. .PP .Vb 4 \& my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy\->fetch( \& Protocol => \*(Aqdns\*(Aq, \& Author => \*(Aqjsmith@example.org\*(Aq, \& ); .Ve .SS \fBnew()\fP .IX Subsection "new()" Construct a default policy object. .PP .Vb 1 \& my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy\->new; .Ve .SH METHODS .IX Header "METHODS" .SS \fBapply()\fP .IX Subsection "apply()" Apply the policy to the results of a DKIM verifier. .PP .Vb 1 \& my $result = $policy\->apply($dkim_verifier); .Ve .PP The caller must provide an instance of Mail::DKIM::Verifier, one which has already been fed the message being verified. .PP Possible results are: .IP accept 4 .IX Item "accept" The message is approved by the sender signing policy. .IP reject 4 .IX Item "reject" The message is rejected by the sender signing policy. It can be considered very suspicious. .IP neutral 4 .IX Item "neutral" The message is neither approved nor rejected by the sender signing policy. It can be considered somewhat suspicious. .SS \fBflags()\fP .IX Subsection "flags()" Get or set the flags (t=) tag. .PP A colon-separated list of flags. Flag values are: .IP y 4 .IX Item "y" The entity is testing signing practices, and the Verifier SHOULD NOT consider a message suspicious based on the record. .IP s 4 .IX Item "s" The signing practices apply only to the named domain, and not to subdomains. .SS \fBis_implied_default_policy()\fP .IX Subsection "is_implied_default_policy()" Is this policy implied? .PP .Vb 1 \& my $is_implied = $policy\->is_implied_default_policy; .Ve .PP If you fetch the policy for a particular domain, but that domain does not have a policy published, then the "default policy" is in effect. Use this method to detect when that happens. .SS \fBlocation()\fP .IX Subsection "location()" Where the policy was fetched from. .PP If the policy is domain-wide, this will be domain where the policy was published. .PP If the policy is user-specific, TBD. .PP If nothing is published for the domain, and the default policy was returned instead, the location will be \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR. .SS \fBpolicy()\fP .IX Subsection "policy()" Get or set the outbound signing policy (dkim=) tag. .PP .Vb 1 \& my $sp = $policy\->policy; .Ve .PP Outbound signing policy for the entity. Possible values are: .ie n .IP """unknown""" 4 .el .IP \f(CWunknown\fR 4 .IX Item "unknown" The default. The entity may sign some or all email. .ie n .IP """all""" 4 .el .IP \f(CWall\fR 4 .IX Item "all" All mail from the entity is signed. (The DKIM signature can use any domain, not necessarily matching the From: address.) .ie n .IP """strict""" 4 .el .IP \f(CWstrict\fR 4 .IX Item "strict" All mail from the entity is signed with Originator signatures. (The DKIM signature uses a domain matching the From: address.) .SS \fBsignall()\fP .IX Subsection "signall()" True if policy is "all". .SS \fBsignall_strict()\fP .IX Subsection "signall_strict()" True if policy is "strict". .SS \fBtesting()\fP .IX Subsection "testing()" Checks the testing flag. .PP .Vb 1 \& my $testing = $policy\->testing; .Ve .PP If nonzero, the testing flag is set on the signing policy, and the verify should not consider a message suspicious based on this policy. .SH BUGS .IX Header "BUGS" .IP \(bu 4 If a sender signing policy is not found for a given domain, the \&\fBfetch()\fR method should search the parent domains, according to section 4 of the dkim-ssp Internet Draft. .SH AUTHORS .IX Header "AUTHORS" .IP \(bu 4 Jason Long .IP \(bu 4 Marc Bradshaw .IP \(bu 4 Bron Gondwana (ARC) .SH THANKS .IX Header "THANKS" Work on ensuring that this module passes the ARC test suite was generously sponsored by Valimail (https://www.valimail.com/) .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IP \(bu 4 Copyright (C) 2013 by Messiah College .IP \(bu 4 Copyright (C) 2010 by Jason Long .IP \(bu 4 Copyright (C) 2017 by Standcore LLC .IP \(bu 4 Copyright (C) 2020 by FastMail Pty Ltd .PP This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.8.6 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
