NAME

       Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderRegex - milter to accept/reject messages with certain headers

SYNOPSIS

	   use Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderRegex;

	   my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::HeaderRegex('^Foo: ');

	   my $milter2 = &HeaderRegex('^Foo: Bar'); # convenience

DESCRIPTION

       This milter module rejects messages at DATA phase if one of the message's headers matches user-supplied regular expressions.

METHODS

       new(REGEX[, ...])
	   Accepts one or more regular expressions, as strings or qr// precompiled regexes.  They are tested in sequence, and the first match ter-
	   minates checking.

       set_message(MESSAGE)
	   Sets the message used when rejecting messages.  This string may contain the substring %H, which will be replaced by the matching header
	   name.

	   This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.

NAME

       Mail::Milter::Object - Perl extension to encapsulate a milter in an object

SYNOPSIS

	   package Foo;
	   use base Mail::Milter::Object;

	   sub connect_callback {
	       my $this = shift;
	       my $ctx = shift;
	       my @connect_args = @_;
	       ...
	   }

	   ...
	   my $milter = new Foo;

DESCRIPTION

       Normally, milters passed to "Sendmail::Milter" consist of nondescript hash references.  "Mail::Milter::Object" transforms these callback
       hashes into fully qualified objects that are easier to maintain and understand.	In conjunction with "Mail::Milter::Chain", this also
       allows for a more modular approach to milter implementation, by allowing each milter to be a small, granular object that can exist indepen-
       dently of other milters.

       Each object inheriting from this class has access to the hash reference making up the object itself.  Two caveats must be noted when
       accessing this hashref:

       * Key names used for private data should be prefixed by an underscore (_) in order to prevent accidental recognition as a callback name.

       * Since a milter object can be reused many times throughout its existence, and perhaps reentrantly if threads are in use, the hashref
       should contain only global configuration data for this object rather than per-message data.  Data stored per message or connection should
       be stashed in the milter context object by calling "getpriv()" and "setpriv()" on the context object.

METHODS

       new()
	   Creates a new "Mail::Milter::Object".  The fully qualified class is scanned for milter callback methods with names of the form CALL-
	   BACK_callback.  If such a method exists, a corresponding callback entry point is added to this object.
