NAME
Mail::Milter::Module::ConnectRegex - milter to accept/reject connecting hosts matching regex(es)
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Milter::Module::ConnectRegex; my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::ConnectRegex('^foo$'); my $milter2 = &ConnectRegex(qw{^foo$ ^bar$}); # convenience $milter2->set_message('Connections from %H disallowed');
DESCRIPTION
This milter module rejects any connecting host whose hostname or IP address matches user-supplied regular expressions. It can also func- tion as a whitelisting Chain element; see "accept_match()".
METHODS
new(REGEX[, ...]) Accepts one or more regular expressions, as strings or qr// precompiled regexes. They are tested in sequence, and the first match ter- minates checking. Note that all IP address literals will be enclosed in [square brackets]; so to test an IP address rather than a hostname, ensure those brackets exist: ^[ADDRESS]$ accept_match(FLAG) If FLAG is 0 (the default), a matching regex will cause the connection to be rejected. If FLAG is 1, a matching regex will cause this module to return SMFIS_ACCEPT instead. This allows a "ConnectRegex" to be used inside a "Mail::Milter::Chain" container (in accept_break(1) mode), to function as a whitelist rather than a blacklist. 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 connections. This string may contain the substring %H, which will be replaced by the matching hostname or IP address. This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.
BUGS
In Sendmail 8.11 and 8.12, a milter rejection at "connect" stage does not allow the reply message to be set -- it simply becomes "not accepting messages". However, this module still attempts to set the reply code and message in the hope that this will be fixed.
