NAME

SYNOPSIS

 use Mail::SPF::Publish

 spf_mailserver( "mail_two", "mail2.example.com", "10.0.0.2" );

 spf_domainservers( "example.com", "mail_one", "mail_two" );

 spf_fix_recursion();

 print spf_output_bind9();

DESCRIPTION

This module and it's associated sample code are intended to be used to generate DNS records (tinydns and BIND9 so far) for SPF, including any explicit wildcard recursion if necessary. The interface right now is /very/ questionable as this has not been proofread by anyone yet. Please be warned that this module may change considerable or not at all before first release.
