Mail::Milter::Module::VirusBounceSpew.3pm

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.
