NAME

Mail::Qmail::Filter::DMARC - verify DMARC policy of mail message

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Qmail::Filter;

Mail::Qmail::Filter->new->add_filters(
    '::DMARC' => {
        skip_if_relayclient => 1,
    },
    '::Queue',
)->run;

DESCRIPTION

This Mail::Qmail::Filter plugin verifies if the incoming e-mail message conforms to the DMARC policy of its sender domain:

  1. The plugin is skipped if imported with feature :skip_for_relayclient and the message comes from a relay client.

  2. We check if the message contains a valid DKIM signature matching the domain of the From: header field. If this is the case, the e-mail is passed on.

  3. If not, a SPF check is done, and a Received-SPF: header field is added to the message. Then we check if the message is aligned with its sender's DMARC policy. A DMARC-Status: header field is added.

    If the message does not align to the policy, the policy advises to reject such messages and when the plugin is used with the :reject feature or the environment variable DMARC_REJECT is set to a true value, the message will be rejected with 554 Failed DMARC test.

Please note: This only works for valid sender addresses. If the message has no valid RFC5322.From, this filter will not reject the message, because Mail::DMARC does not like invalid sender addresses. If you also happen to not like these, please use Mail::Qmail::Filter::ValidateFrom and/or Mail::Qmail::Filter::ValidateSender before this filter.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

dry_run

When set to a true value, the message is only marked, not rejected.

reject_text

Reply text to send to the client when the message is rejected.

Default: Failed DMARC test.
