Each server instance can be configured with specific processing parameters. Also, the default I DNS resolver used for making DNS look-ups can be overridden with a custom resolver object. =head2 Constructor The following constructor is provided: =over =item B: returns I Creates a new server object for processing SPF requests. %options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options: =over =item B A I denoting the default (not macro-expanded) authority explanation string to use if the authority domain does not specify an explanation string of its own. Defaults to: 'Please see http://www.openspf.org/Why?s=%{_scope}&id=%{S}&ip=%{C}&r=%{R}' As can be seen from the default, a non-standard C<_scope> pseudo macro is supported that expands to the name of the identity's scope. (Note: Do I use any non-standard macros in explanation strings published in DNS.) =item B A I denoting the local system's fully qualified host name that should be used for expanding the C macro in explanation strings. Defaults to the system's configured host name. =item B An optional DNS resolver object. If none is specified, a new I object is used. The resolver object may be of a different class, but it must provide an interface similar to I -- at least the C and C methods must be supported, and the C method must return either an object of class I, or, in the case of an error, B. =item B An I denoting the maximum number of terms (mechanisms and modifiers) per SPF check that perform DNS look-ups, as defined in RFC 4408, 10.1, paragraph 6. If B is specified, there is no limit on the number of such terms. Defaults to B<10>, which is the value defined in RFC 4408. A value above the default is I for security reasons. A value below the default has implications with regard to the predictability of SPF results. Only deviate from the default if you know what you are doing! =item B An I denoting the maximum number of DNS name look-ups per term (mechanism or modifier), as defined in RFC 4408, 10.1, paragraph 7. If B is specified, there is no limit on the number of look-ups performed. Defaults to B<10>, which is the value defined in RFC 4408. A value above the default is I for security reasons. A value below the default has implications with regard to the predictability of SPF results. Only deviate from the default if you know what you are doing! =item B =item B An I denoting the maximum number of DNS name look-ups per B or B mechanism, respectively. Defaults to the value of the C option. See there for additional information and security notes. =item B An I denoting the maximum number of "void" DNS look-ups per SPF check, i.e. the number of DNS look-ups that were caused by DNS-interactive terms and macros (as defined in RFC 4408, 10.1, paragraphs 6 and 7) and that are allowed to return an empty answer with RCODE 0 or RCODE 3 (C) before processing is aborted with a C result. If B is specified, there is no limit on the number of void DNS look-ups. Defaults to B. Specifically, the DNS look-ups that are subject to this limit are those caused by the C, C, C, and C mechanisms and the C

macro. A value of B<2> is likely to prevent effective DoS attacks against third-party victim domains. However, a definite limit may cause C results even with certain (overly complex) innocent sender policies where useful results would normally be returned. =back =cut sub new { my ($self, %options) = @_; $self = $self->SUPER::new(%options); $self->{default_authority_explanation} = $self->default_default_authority_explanation if not defined($self->{default_authority_explanation}); $self->{default_authority_explanation} = Mail::SPF::MacroString->new( text => $self->{default_authority_explanation}, server => $self, is_explanation => TRUE ) if not UNIVERSAL::isa($self->{default_authority_explanation}, 'Mail::SPF::MacroString'); $self->{hostname} ||= Mail::SPF::Util->hostname; $self->{dns_resolver} ||= Net::DNS::Resolver->new(); $self->{max_dns_interactive_terms} = $self->default_max_dns_interactive_terms if not exists($self->{max_dns_interactive_terms}); $self->{max_name_lookups_per_term} = $self->default_max_name_lookups_per_term if not exists($self->{max_name_lookups_per_term}); $self->{max_name_lookups_per_mx_mech} = $self->default_max_name_lookups_per_mx_mech if not exists($self->{max_name_lookups_per_mx_mech}); $self->{max_name_lookups_per_ptr_mech} = $self->default_max_name_lookups_per_ptr_mech if not exists($self->{max_name_lookups_per_ptr_mech}); $self->{max_void_dns_lookups} = $self->default_max_void_dns_lookups if not exists($self->{max_void_dns_lookups}); return $self; } =back =head2 Instance methods The following instance methods are provided: =over =item B: returns I Processes the given I object, queries the authoritative domain for an SPF sender policy (see the description of the L method), evaluates the policy with regard to the given identity and other request parameters, and returns a I object denoting the result of the policy evaluation.

More precisely, the following algorithm is performed: =over =item 1. Determine the authority domain, the set of acceptable SPF record versions, and the identity scope from the given request object. =item 2. Query the authority domain for SPF records of the C DNS RR type, discarding any records that are of an inacceptable version or do not cover the desired scope. If this yields no SPF records, query the authority domain for SPF records of the C DNS RR type, discarding any records that are of an inacceptable version or do not cover the desired scope. If still no acceptable SPF records could be found, throw a I exception. =item 3. Discard all records but those of the highest acceptable version found. If exactly one record remains, return it.
