NAME
Mail::Decency::Policy::SPF
DESCRIPTION
A SPF implementation (http://www.openspf.org/) for decency based on Mail::SPF
Weight's incoming mail based on the sender policy framework.
The SPF suggests that your (sender) domain has an additional TXT record providing a list/range of server ip's which are allowed to send mails.
For an explanation of the spf result codes have a look here: http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Received_Header
CONFIG
---
versions: [ 1, 2 ]
# the sender ip is allowed to send from this ip
weight_pass: 20
# no spf support from sender domain
weight_none: 0
# it is a fail, but sender domain admin has not the balls to use hard restrictions
# neutral is a bit more wishy-washy then softail is, but essentially both
# are saying: the particular sender is not really permitted, but it won't deny it
# the ..by_default neutral status i don't get..
weight_neutral: -10
weight_neutral_by_default: -10
weight_softfail: -10
# this admin has the bals. the sender ip is not permitted for this domain
weight_fail: -50
# some temporary dns problem. should not be weighted negativly, cause this
# could happen to any of us
weight_temperror: 0
# the permanent error says: we received something, but dont know what.
weight_permerror: -10
# this seems to catch error's which could not be further determined..
weight_error: 0CRITICS
Critics say the SPF could break existing structures, eg you cannot send mails from gmx.com via your company's mails server. Advocates reply: that's the idea and it is good.
