VERSION

SYNOPSIS
           use Mail::SPF;

           my $spf_server  = Mail::SPF::Server->new();

           my $request     = Mail::SPF::Request->new(
               versions        => [1, 2],              # optional
               scope           => 'mfrom',             # or 'helo', 'pra'
               identity        => '',
               ip_address      => '192.168.0.1',
               helo_identity   => 'mta.example.com'    # optional,
                                                       #   for %{h} macro expansion
           );

           my $result      = $spf_server->process($request);

           print("$result\n");
           my $result_code     = $result->code;        # 'pass', 'fail', etc.
           my $local_exp       = $result->local_explanation;
           my $authority_exp   = $result->authority_explanation
               if $result->is_code('fail');

DESCRIPTION
       Mail::SPF is an object-oriented implementation of Sender Policy Framework (SPF).  See
       <http://www.openspf.org> for more information about SPF.

       This class collection aims to fully conform to the SPF specification (RFC 4408) so as to
       serve both as a production quality SPF implementation and as a reference for other devel-
       opers of SPF implementations.
