NAME
Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy - represents a DKIM Sender Signing Practices record
DESCRIPTION
The Sender Signing Practices (SSP) record can be published by any domain to help a
receiver know what to do when it encounters an unsigned message claiming to originate from
that domain.
The record is published as a DNS TXT record at _policy._domainkey.DOMAIN where DOMAIN is
the domain of the message's "From" address.
This record format has been superceded by ADSP. 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
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dkim-ssp-02 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-
dkim-ssp-02>.
CONSTRUCTORS
fetch()
Lookup a DKIM signing practices record.
my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy->fetch(
Protocol => "dns",
Author => 'jsmith AT example.org',
);
new()
Construct a default policy object.
my $policy = Mail::DKIM::DkimPolicy->new;
METHODS
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.
BUGS
ยท If a sender signing policy is not found for a given domain, the fetch() method should
search the parent domains, according to section 4 of the dkim-ssp Internet Draft.
