This class is a filter module class for use with Courier::Filter. It matches a message if one of the message's envelope fields matches the configured criteria.

The following constructor is provided:

new(%options): RETURNS Courier::Filter::Module::Envelope

Creates a new Envelope filter module. %options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options:

fields

REQUIRED. A reference to a hash containing the message envelope field names and patterns (as key/value pairs) that messages are to be matched against. Field names are matched case-insensitively. Patterns may either be simple strings (for exact, case-sensitive matches) or regular expression objects created by the CWqr// operator (for inexact, partial matches). The following envelope fields are supported:

sender

The message's envelope sender (from the MAIL FROM: SMTP command).

recipient

Any of the message's envelope recipients (from the RCPT TO: SMTP commands).

remote_host

The IP address of the SMTP client that submitted the message.

remote_host_name

The host name (gained by Courier through a DNS reverse lookup) of the SMTP client that submitted the message, if available.

remote_host_helo

The HELO string that the SMTP client specified, if available. So for instance, to match any message with a sender of CWpaul.greenfield@unisys.com, directed at CWjulian@mehnle.net (possibly among other recipients), you could set the CWfields option as follows:

    fields      => {
        sender      => 'paul.greenfield@unisys.com',
        recipient   => 'julian@mehnle.net'
    }

response

A string that is to be returned literally as the match result in case of a match. Defaults to Prohibited <field>: <value>. All options of the Courier::Filter::Module constructor are also supported. Please see new() in Courier::Filter::Module for their descriptions.

See Instance methods in Courier::Filter::Module for a description of the provided instance methods.
