NAME

Mail::OpenDKIM - Provides an interface to libOpenDKIM

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::DKIM::Signer;

# create a signer object
my $dkim = Mail::OpenDKIM::Signer->new(
 Algorithm => 'rsa-sha1',
 Method => 'relaxed',
 Domain => 'example.org',
 Selector => 'selector1',
 KeyFile => 'private.key',
);

# read an email and pass it into the signer, one line at a time
while(<STDIN>) {
 # remove local line terminators
 chomp;
 s/\015$//;

 # use SMTP line terminators
 $dkim->PRINT("$_\015\012");
}
$dkim->CLOSE();

# what is the signature result?
my $signature = $dkim->signature;
print $signature->as_string;

DESCRIPTION

Mail::OpenDKIM, coupled with Mail::OpenDKIM::DKIM, provides a means of calling libOpenDKIM from Perl. Mail::OpenDKIM implements those routine taking a DKIM_LIB argument; those taking a DKIM argument have been implemented in Mail::OpenDKIM::DKIM.

Mail::OpenDKIM::Signer provides a drop in replacement for the signature process provided by Mail::DKIM::Signer.

When an error is encountered, an Error::Simple object is thrown.

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

Test::More
libOpenDKIM 2.3 (http://www.opendkim.org/libopendkim/)
C compiler

NOTES

Tested against libOpenDKIM 2.3.1. Known to fail to compile against 2.2.

Only portions of Mail::DKIM::Signer interface, and the support for it, have been implemented.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-mail-opendkim at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Mail-OpenDKIM. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

The signature creation rountines have been tested more thoroughly than the signature verification routines.

Feedback will be greatfully received.
