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.
