DESCRIPTION
An object of class Mail::SPF::Request represents an SPF request.
Constructors
The following constructors are provided:
new(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Request
Creates a new SPF request object. The request is considered the root-request for any
subsequent sub-requests (see the "new_sub_request" constructor).
%options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options:
versions
A reference to an array of integers listing the versions of SPF records that may
be used for the SPF check. Only those record versions that cover the desired
scope will actually be used. At least one applicable version must be specified.
For a single record version, a simple scalar may be specified instead of an array-
ref. Defaults to all versions that cover the desired scope (see below); defaults
to [1, 2] for the default scope of 'mfrom'.
The following versions are supported:
1 Use "v=spf1" records.
2 Use "spf2.0" records.
Example: A value of 1 (or [1]) means that only "v=spf1" records should be used
for the SPF check. If at the same time a scope of 'pra' is specified, a
Mail::SPF::EInvalidScope exception will be thrown as "v=spf1" records do not cover
the PRA scope.
scope
A string denoting the authorization scope of the identity that should be checked.
Defaults to 'mfrom'. The following scope values are supported:
'helo'
The given identity is the "HELO" parameter of an SMTP transaction (RFC 2821)
and should be checked against SPF records that cover the "helo" scope
("v=spf1"). See the SPFv1 specification (RFC 4408) for the formal definition
of the "HELO" scope.
'mfrom'
The given identity is the "MAIL FROM" parameter of an SMTP transaction (RFC
2821), and should be checked against SPF records that cover the "mfrom" scope
("v=spf1" and "spf2.0/mfrom"). See the SPFv1 specification (RFC 4408) for the
formal definition of the "MAIL FROM" scope.
Note: In the case of an empty "MAIL FROM" SMTP transaction parameter ("MAIL
FROM:<>"), you should perform a check with the "helo" scope instead.
'pra'
The given identity is the "Purported Responsible Address" of an internet
message (RFC 2822) and should be checked against SPF records that cover the
"pra" scope ("spf2.0/pra"). See the PRA specification (RFC 4407) for the
formal definition of the PRA scope.
authority_domain
A string denoting the domain name that should be queried for sender policy
records. Defaults to the domain of the "identity" option. There is usually no
need to specify the "authority_domain" option.
identity
Required. A string denoting the sender identity whose authorization should be
checked. This is a domain name for the "helo" scope, and an e-mail address for
the "mfrom" and "pra" scopes.
Note: An empty identity must not be passed. In the case of an empty "MAIL FROM"
SMTP transaction parameter, you should perform a check with the "helo" scope
instead.
ip_address
Required for checks with the "helo", "mfrom", and "pra" scopes. Either a string
or a NetAddr::IP object denoting the IP address of the host claiming the identity
that is being checked. Can be either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. An IPv4-mapped
IPv6 address (e.g. '::ffff:192.168.0.1') is treated as an IPv4 address.
helo_identity
A string denoting the "HELO" SMTP transaction parameter in the case that the main
identity is of a scope other than "helo". This identity is then used merely for
the expansion of "%{h}" macros during the policy evaluation of the main identity.
Defaults to undef, which will be expanded to 'unknown'. If the main identity is
of the "helo" scope, this option is unused.
new_sub_request(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Request
Must be invoked on an existing request object. Creates a new sub-request object by
cloning the invoked request, which is then considered the new request's super-request.
Any specified options (see the "new" constructor) override the parameters of the
super-request. There is usually no need to specify any options besides the
"authority_domain" option.
Instance methods
The following instance methods are provided:
root_request: returns Mail::SPF::Request
Returns the root of the request's chain of super-requests. Specifically, returns the
request itself if it has no super-requests.
super_request: returns Mail::SPF::Request
Returns the super-request of the request, or undef if there is none.
versions: returns list of string
Returns a list of the SPF record versions that are used for request. See the
description of the "new" constructor's "versions" option.
scope: returns string
Returns the scope of the request. See the description of the "new" constructor's
"scope" option.
authority_domain: returns string
Returns the authority domain of the request. See the description of the "new"
constructor's "authority_domain" option.
identity: returns string
Returns the identity of the request. See the description of the "new" constructor's
"identity" option.
domain: returns string
Returns the identity domain of the request. See the description of the "new"
constructor's "identity" option.
localpart: returns string
Returns the identity localpart of the request. See the description of the "new"
constructor's "identity" option.
ip_address: returns NetAddr::IP
Returns the IP address of the request as a NetAddr::IP object. See the description of
the "new" constructor's "ip_address" option.
ip_address_v6: returns NetAddr::IP
Like the "ip_address" method, however, an IPv4 address is returned as an IPv4-mapped
IPv6 address (e.g. '::ffff:192.168.0.1') to facilitate uniform processing.
helo_identity: returns string
Returns the "HELO" SMTP transaction parameter of the request. See the description of
the "new" constructor's "helo_identity" option.
record: returns Mail::SPF::Record
Returns the SPF record selected during the processing of the request, or undef if
there is none.
state($field): returns anything
state($field, $value): returns anything
Provides an interface for storing temporary state information with the request object.
This is primarily meant to be used internally by Mail::SPF::Server and other Mail::SPF
classes.
If $value is specified, stores it in a state field named $field. Returns the current
(new) value of the state field named $field. This method may be used as an lvalue.
