NAME
Net::Server::Mail - Class to easily create a mail server
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Server::Mail::SMTP;
my @local_domains = qw(example.com example.org);
my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new( Listen => 1, LocalPort => 25 );
my $conn;
while($conn = $server->accept)
{
my $smtp = Net::Server::Mail::SMTP->new( socket => $conn );
$smtp->set_callback(RCPT => \&validate_recipient);
$smtp->set_callback(DATA => \&queue_message);
$smtp->process();
$conn->close();
}
sub validate_recipient
{
my($session, $recipient) = @_;
my $domain;
if($recipient =~ /@(.*)>\s*$/)
{
$domain = $1;
}
if(not defined $domain)
{
return(0, 513, 'Syntax error.');
}
elsif(not(grep $domain eq $_, @local_domains))
{
return(0, 554, "$recipient: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied");
}
return(1);
}
sub queue_message
{
my($session, $data) = @_;
my $sender = $session->get_sender();
my @recipients = $session->get_recipients();
return(0, 554, 'Error: no valid recipients')
unless(@recipients);
my $msgid = add_queue($sender, \@recipients, $data);
or return(0);
return(1, 250, "message queued $msgid");
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is a versatile and extensible implementation of the SMTP protocol and its different evolutions like ESMTP and LMTP. The event driven object-oriented API makes easy to incorporate the SMTP protocol to your programs.
Other SMTPd implementations don't support useful ESMTP extensions and the LMTP protocol. Their interface design precludes adding them later. So I've decided to rewrite a complete implementation with extensibility in mind.
It provides mechanism to easy addition future or not yet implemented ESMTP extensions. Developers can hook code at each SMTP session state and change the module's behaviors by registering event call-backs. The class is designed to be easily inherited from.
This class is the base class for mail service protocols such as Net::Server::Mail::SMTP, Net::Server::Mail::ESMTP and Net::Server::Mail::LMTP. Refer to the documentation provided with each of these modules.
METHODS
new
$instance = Net::Server::Mail->new( [option => 'value', ...] )
options:
- handle_in
-
Sets the input handle, from which the server reads data. Defaults to STDIN.
- handle_out
-
Sets the output handle, to which the server writes data. Defaults to STDOUT.
- socket
-
Sets a socket to be used for server reads and writes instead of handles.
- error_sleep_time
-
Number of seconds to wait for before printing an error message. This avoids some DoS attacks that attempt to flood the server with bogus commands. A value of 0 turns this feature off. Defaults to 0.
- idle_timeout
-
Number of seconds a connection must remain idle before it is closed. A value of 0 turns this feature off. Defaults to 0.
dojob
Some commands need to do a job after the handler call. The handler may want to override this to prevent the job from being executed.
By calling this method with a (defined) false value as an argument, the expected job isn't executed. Defaults to true.
set_callback
($success, $code, $msg) = $obj->set_callback(VERB, \&function, $context)>
Sets the callback code to be called on a particular event. The function should return 1 to 3 values: (success, [return_code, ["message"]]).
$mailserver->set_callback
(
'RCPT', sub
{
my($address) = @_;
if(is_relayed($address))
{
# default success code/message will be used
return 1;
}
else
{
return(0, 513, 'Relaying denied.');
}
}
);
process
$mailserver->process;
Start a new session.
banner
Send the introduction banner. You have to call it manually when are using process_once() method. Don't use it with process() method.
EVENTS
banner
Append at the opening of a new connection.
Handler takes no argument.
timeout
This event append where timeout is exceeded.
Handler takes no argument.
timeout
This event append where connection is closed or an error occurs during reading from socket.
Takes the error description as an argument if an error occured and the argument is undefined if the session was closed by peer.
$mailserver->set_callback
(
'stop_session', sub
{
my($session, $err) = @_;
if( defined $err )
{
print "Error occured during processing: $err\n";
}
else
{
print "Session closed py peer\n";
}
return 1;
}
);
