Mail::SPF::Mod::Redirect(3) SPF record redirect modifier class

DESCRIPTION

An object of class Mail::SPF::Mod::Redirect represents an SPF record modifier of type "redirect".

Constructors

new(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Mod::Redirect
Creates a new SPF record "redirect" modifier object.

%options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options:

domain_spec
See ``new'' in Mail::SPF::Mod.
new_from_string($text, %options): returns Mail::SPF::Mod::Redirect; throws Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse, Mail::SPF::EInvalidMod
Creates a new SPF record "redirect" modifier object by parsing the string and any options given.

Class methods

The following class methods are provided:
name: returns string
Returns 'redirect'.
name_pattern: returns Regexp
Returns a regular expression that matches a modifier name of 'redirect'.
precedence: returns real
Returns a precedence value of 0.8. See ``precedence'' in Mail::SPF::Mod.

Instance methods

The following instance methods are provided:
params
See ``params'' in Mail::SPF::Mod.
domain_spec: returns Mail::SPF::MacroString
Returns the "domain-spec" parameter of the modifier.
process($server, $request, $result): throws Mail::SPF::Result
If no mechanism matched during the evaluation of the current SPF record, performs a recursive SPF check using the given SPF server and request objects and substituting the modifier's target domain name for the request's authority domain. The result of the recursive SPF check is then thrown as the result of the current record's evaluation. However, if the target domain has no acceptable SPF record, a "permerror" result is thrown. See RFC 4408, 6.1, for details.

See Mail::SPF::Mod for other supported instance methods.
