=head1 NAME

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF - perform SPF verification tests

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin checks a message against Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
records published by the domain owners in DNS to fight email address
forgery and make it easier to identify spams.

=head1 USER SETTINGS

=over 4

=item whitelist_from_spf user@example.com

Works similarly to whitelist_from, except that in addition to matching
a sender address, a check against the domain's SPF record must pass.
The first parameter is an address to whitelist, and the second is a string
to match the relay's rDNS.

Just like whitelist_from, multiple addresses per line, separated by spaces,
are OK. Multiple C<whitelist_from_spf> lines are also OK.

The headers checked for whitelist_from_spf addresses are the same headers
used for SPF checks (Envelope-From, Return-Path, X-Envelope-From, etc).

Since this whitelist requires an SPF check to be made, network tests must be
enabled. It is also required that your trust path be correctly configured.
See the section on C<trusted_networks> for more info on trust paths.

e.g.

  whitelist_from_spf joe@example.com fred@example.com
  whitelist_from_spf *@example.com

=item def_whitelist_from_spf user@example.com

Same as C<whitelist_from_spf>, but used for the default whitelist entries
in the SpamAssassin distribution.  The whitelist score is lower, because
these are often targets for spammer spoofing.

=item unwhitelist_from_spf user@example.com

Used to remove a C<whitelist_from_spf> or C<def_whitelist_from_spf> entry.
The specified email address has to match exactly the address previously used.

Useful for removing undesired default entries from a distributed configuration
by a local or site-specific configuration or by C<user_prefs>.

=head1 ADMINISTRATOR OPTIONS

=over 4

=item spf_timeout n		(default: 5)

How many seconds to wait for an SPF query to complete, before scanning
continues without the SPF result. A numeric value is optionally suffixed
by a time unit (s, m, h, d, w, indicating seconds (default), minutes, hours,
days, weeks).

=cut

  push (@cmds, {
    setting => 'spf_timeout',
    is_admin => 1,
    default => 5,
    type => $Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::CONF_TYPE_DURATION
  });

=item do_not_use_mail_spf (0|1)		(default: 0)

By default the plugin will try to use the Mail::SPF module for SPF checks if
it can be loaded.  If Mail::SPF cannot be used the plugin will fall back to
using the legacy Mail::SPF::Query module if it can be loaded.

Use this option to stop the plugin from using Mail::SPF and cause it to try to
use Mail::SPF::Query instead.

=cut

  push(@cmds, {
    setting => 'do_not_use_mail_spf',
    is_admin => 1,
    default => 0,
    type => $Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::CONF_TYPE_BOOL,
  });

=item do_not_use_mail_spf_query (0|1)	(default: 0)

As above, but instead stop the plugin from trying to use Mail::SPF::Query and
cause it to only try to use Mail::SPF.

=cut

  push(@cmds, {
    setting => 'do_not_use_mail_spf_query',
    is_admin => 1,
    default => 0,
    type => $Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::CONF_TYPE_BOOL,
  });

=item ignore_received_spf_header (0|1)	(default: 0)

By default, to avoid unnecessary DNS lookups, the plugin will try to use the
SPF results found in any C<Received-SPF> headers it finds in the message that
could only have been added by an internal relay.

Set this option to 1 to ignore any C<Received-SPF> headers present and to have
the plugin perform the SPF check itself.

Note that unless the plugin finds an C<identity=helo>, or some unsupported
identity, it will assume that the result is a mfrom SPF check result.  The
only identities supported are C<mfrom>, C<mailfrom> and C<helo>.

=cut

  push(@cmds, {
    setting => 'ignore_received_spf_header',
    is_admin => 1,
    default => 0,
    type => $Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::CONF_TYPE_BOOL,
  });

=item use_newest_received_spf_header (0|1)	(default: 0)

By default, when using C<Received-SPF> headers, the plugin will attempt to use
the oldest (bottom most) C<Received-SPF> headers, that were added by internal
relays, that it can parse results from since they are the most likely to be
accurate.  This is done so that if you have an incoming mail setup where one
of your primary MXes doesn't know about a secondary MX (or your MXes don't
know about some sort of forwarding relay that SA considers trusted+internal)
but SA is aware of the actual domain boundary (internal_networks setting) SA
will use the results that are most accurate.

Use this option to start with the newest (top most) C<Received-SPF> headers,
working downwards until results are successfully parsed.

=cut

  push(@cmds, {
    setting => 'use_newest_received_spf_header',
    is_admin => 1,
    default => 0,
    type => $Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf::CONF_TYPE_BOOL,
  });

  $conf->{parser}->register_commands(\@cmds);
