Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew3pm

Milter to reject antivirus messages typically sent to forged "senders"

Usage

    use Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;
    my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew;
    my $milter2 = &VirusBounceSpew; # convenience

Overview

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.
