CONFIGURATION
The plugin allows you to skip emails that have been DKIM signed by specific senders: fns_ignore_dkim googlegroups.com FromNameSpoof allows for a configurable closeness when matching the From:addr and From:name, the closeness can be adjusted with: fns_extrachars 5 Note that FromNameSpoof detects the "owner" of a domain by the following search: <owner>.<tld> By default FromNameSpoof will ignore the TLD when testing if From:addr is spoofed. Default 1 dns_check 1 Check levels: 0 - Strict checking of From:name != From:addr 1 - Allow for different tlds 2 - Allow for different aliases but same domain
