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.
