NAME

       Mail::Milter::Module::MailDomainDotMX - milter to reject mail whose sender domain publishes a null MX
       record

SYNOPSIS

           use Mail::Milter::Module::MailDomainDotMX;

           my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::MailDomainDotMX;

           my $milter2 = &MailDomainDotMX; # convenience

           $milter2->set_message('Mail from %M domain invalid (has dot-MX record)');

DESCRIPTION

       This milter module rejects any mail from a sender's domain (in the MAIL FROM part of the SMTP
       transaction, not in the From: header) if that domain publishes a "null", or "dot" MX record.  Such a
       record looks like the following in DNS:

           example.com. IN MX 0 .

       This lookup requires the Net::DNS module to be installed in order to fetch the MX record.

       An extra check as to whether the MX is valid is not (yet) done here.  It is currently assumed that the
       MTA does rudimentary checking for the presence of a valid MX or A record on the sending domain.

METHODS

           new()

           Creates a MailDomainDotMX object.  There are no arguments to configure this module, as it is a fixed
           check.

           ignore_tempfail(FLAG)

           If FLAG is 0 (the default), a DNS lookup which fails the underlying DNS query will cause the milter
           to return a temporary failure result (SMFIS_TEMPFAIL).

           If FLAG is 1, a temporary DNS failure will be treated as if the lookup resulted in an empty record
           set (SMFIS_CONTINUE).

           This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.

           set_message(MESSAGE)

           Sets the message used when rejecting messages.  This string may contain the substring %M, which will
           be replaced by the matching e-mail address.

           This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.
