Mail::SPF::Mech::A(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationMail::SPF::Mech::A(3)

NAME
       Mail::SPF::Mech::A - SPF record "a" mechanism class

DESCRIPTION
       An object of class Mail::SPF::Mech::A represents an SPF record
       mechanism of type "a".

   Constructors
       The following constructors are provided:

       new(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Mech::A
	   Creates a new SPF record "a" mechanism object.

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

	   qualifier
	   domain_spec
	   ipv4_prefix_length
	   ipv6_prefix_length
	       See "new" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

       new_from_string($text, %options): returns Mail::SPF::Mech::A; throws
       Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse, Mail::SPF::EInvalidMech
	   Creates a new SPF record "a" mechanism object by parsing the string
	   and any options given.

   Class methods
       The following class methods are provided:

       default_qualifier
       default_ipv4_prefix_length
       default_ipv6_prefix_length
       qualifier_pattern
	   See "Class methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

       name: returns string
	   Returns 'a'.

       name_pattern: returns Regexp
	   Returns a regular expression that matches a mechanism name of 'a'.

   Instance methods
       The following instance methods are provided:

       text
       qualifier
       params
       stringify
       domain
       match_in_domain
	   See "Instance methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

       domain_spec: returns Mail::SPF::MacroString
	   Returns the "domain-spec" parameter of the mechanism.

       ipv4_prefix_length: returns integer
	   Returns the IPv4 network prefix length of the mechanism.

       ipv6_prefix_length: returns integer
	   Returns the IPv6 network prefix length of the mechanism.

       match($server, $request): returns boolean
	   Checks whether the mechanism's target domain name (that is, any of
	   its DNS "A" or "AAAA" host addresses) matches the given request's
	   IP address (see "ip_address" in Mail::SPF::Request), and returns
	   true if it does, or false otherwise.	 The mechanism's IP network
	   prefix lengths are respected when matching address records against
	   the request's IP address.  See RFC 4408, 5, for the exact algorithm
	   used.
