man Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew () - milter to reject antivirus messages typically sent to forged "senders"
NAME
Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew - milter to reject antivirus messages typically sent to forged "senders"
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;
my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;
my $milter2 = &VirusBounceSpew; # convenience
DESCRIPTION
This module rejects messages at the DATA phase by searching for known signs of misconfigured antivirus software. An increasing problem on the Internet as of this writing is a tendency for viruses and trojans to send mail with a forged envelope from address. This is triggering antivirus warning messages back to these forged senders.
METHODS
- new()
- Creates a VirusBounceSpew milter object. The match rules are internally hardcoded and may be examined by reading the module source.
- set_message(MESSAGE)
- Sets the message used when rejecting messages. This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.
BUGS
The rules could be much simpler, but at risk of catching legit mail. A future release will simplify the regex tests.
