NAME
Mail::DKIM::SignerPolicy - determines signing parameters for a message
VERSION
version 1.20200907
DESCRIPTION
A "signer policy" is an object, class, or function used by
Mail::DKIM::Signer to determine what signatures to add to the current
message. To take advantage of signer policies, create your own Perl
class that extends the Mail::DKIM::SignerPolicy class. The only method
you need to implement is the apply() method.
The apply() method takes as a parameter the Mail::DKIM::Signer object.
Using this object, it can determine some properties of the message
(e.g. what the From: address or Sender: address is). Then it sets
various signer properties as desired. The apply() method should return
a nonzero value if the message should be signed. If a false value is
returned, then the message is "skipped" (i.e. not signed).
Here is an example of a policy that always returns the same values:
package MySignerPolicy;
use base 'Mail::DKIM::SignerPolicy';
sub apply
{
my $self = shift;
my $signer = shift;
$signer->algorithm('rsa-sha1');
$signer->method('relaxed');
$signer->domain('example.org');
$signer->selector('selector1');
$signer->key_file('private.key');
return 1;
}
To use this policy, simply specify the name of the class as the Policy
parameter...
my $dkim = Mail::DKIM::Signer->new(
Policy => 'MySignerPolicy',
);
ADVANCED
You can also have the policy actually build the signature for the
Signer to use. To do this, call the signer's add_signature() method
from within your apply() callback. E.g.,
sub apply
{
my $self = shift;
my $signer = shift;
$signer->add_signature(
new Mail::DKIM::Signature(
Algorithm => $signer->algorithm,
Method => $signer->method,
Headers => $signer->headers,
Domain => $signer->domain,
Selector => $signer->selector,
));
return;
}
Again, if you do not want any signatures, return zero or undef. If you
use add_signature() to create a signature, the default signature will
not be created, even if you return nonzero.
