SYNOPSIS¶

  $g->addResult(method => 'dkim', result => 'fail');

DESCRIPTION¶

Mail Transfer Agents may check the authenticity of an incoming message. They add 'Authentication-Results' headers, maybe more than one. This implementation is based on RFC7601.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content: The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines" or "Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data contains weird characters. Cast by toInt()
Error: Field name too long (max $length), in '$name': It is not specified in the RFCs how long a field name can be, but at least it should be a few characters shorter than the line wrap. Cast by fold()
Warning: Illegal character in charset '$charset': The field is created with an utf8 string which only contains data from the specified character set. However, that character set can never be a valid name because it contains characters which are not permitted. Cast by encode()
Warning: Illegal character in field name $name: A new field is being created which does contain characters not permitted by the RFCs. Using this field in messages may break other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and therefore mutulate or extinguish your message. Cast by consume()
Warning: Illegal character in language '$lang': The field is created with data which is specified to be in a certain language, however, the name of the language cannot be valid: it contains characters which are not permitted by the RFCs. Cast by encode()
Warning: Illegal encoding '$encoding', used 'q': The RFCs only permit base64 ("b " or "B ") or quoted-printable ("q" or "Q") encoding. Other than these four options are illegal. Cast by encode()
Error: No attributes for Authentication-Results: Is is not possible to add attributes to this field. Cast by addAttribute()
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.: Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package. Cast by notImplemented()
