fetch()¶

Lookup a DKIM signing practices record.

  my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy->fetch(
            Protocol => 'dns',
            Author => 'jsmith@example.org',
          );

new()¶

Construct a default policy object.

  my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy->new;

apply()¶

Apply the policy to the results of a DKIM verifier.

  my $result = $policy->apply($dkim_verifier);

The caller must provide an instance of Mail::DKIM::Verifier, one which has already been fed the message being verified.

Possible results are:

accept

The message is approved by the sender signing policy.

reject

The message is rejected by the sender signing policy. It can be considered very suspicious.

neutral

The message is neither approved nor rejected by the sender signing policy. It can be considered somewhat suspicious.

flags()¶

Get or set the flags (t=) tag.

A colon-separated list of flags. Flag values are:

y

The entity is testing signing practices, and the Verifier SHOULD NOT consider a message suspicious based on the record.

s

The signing practices apply only to the named domain, and not to subdomains.

is_implied_default_policy()¶

Is this policy implied?

  my $is_implied = $policy->is_implied_default_policy;

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.

location()¶

Where the policy was fetched from.

If the policy is domain-wide, this will be domain where the policy was published.

If the policy is user-specific, TBD.

If nothing is published for the domain, and the default policy was returned instead, the location will be "undef".

policy()¶

Get or set the outbound signing policy (dkim=) tag.

  my $sp = $policy->policy;

Outbound signing policy for the entity. Possible values are:

"unknown"

The default. The entity may sign some or all email.

"all"

All mail from the entity is signed. (The DKIM signature can use any domain, not necessarily matching the From: address.)

"strict"

All mail from the entity is signed with Originator signatures. (The DKIM signature uses a domain matching the From: address.)

signall()¶

True if policy is "all".

signall_strict()¶

True if policy is "strict".

testing()¶

Checks the testing flag.

  my $testing = $policy->testing;

If nonzero, the testing flag is set on the signing policy, and the verify should not consider a message suspicious based on this policy.
