NAME
    Mail::SPF::Publish - Assist in the creation of DNS records for the SPF
    standard.

SYNOPSIS
      use Mail::SPF::Publish
 
      my $spf = Mail::SPF::Publish->new( ttl => 86400 );

      $spf->mailserver( "mail_one", "mail1.example.com", "10.0.0.1" );
      $spf->mailserver( "mail_two", "mail2.example.com", "10.0.0.2" );

      $spf->domainservers( "example.com", "mail_one", "mail_two" );

      $spf->domainincludes( "myvanity.com", "myisp.com", "myschool.edu" );

      print $spf->output( format => 'bind4' );

DESCRIPTION
    This module and it's associated sample code are intended to be used to
    generate DNS zone files for SPF under tinydns and bind4-9, including any
    explicit wildcard recursion if necessary. Most people will want to use
    the supplied scripts for automatic generation of a zone, 'autospf' and
    'spf2zone'.

USAGE
  new
    Usage
          my $spf = Mail::SPF::Publish->new();

    Purpose
        Creates a new SPF publishing module

    Returns
        The object it just created.

    Arguments

        explicit_wildcards
            Sets whether explicit wildcards are to be generated (Default: 1)

        format
            Sets the type of output you want, currently only two possible
            values: 'bind4' and 'tinydns'. (Default: 'bind4' )

        ttl Sets the ttl for all entires in the generated DNS heirarchy.
            (Default: 86400)

        default
            Sets the default response for domains (but not on individual
            machines). You may set 'deny', 'softdeny', or 'accept'.
            (Default: 'deny') Please don't set 'accept'.

  mailserver
    Usage
          $spf->mailserver( alias, hostname, address );

    Purpose
        Defines a mail server alias, and creates the SPF records for HELO
        lookups.

    Returns
        Nothing yet

    Arguments

        alias
            string alias for this entry

        hostname
            fully qualified domain name this mail server, and hostname name
            supplied at HELO phase.

        address
            network address of this mail server (currently only an ipv4
            address is supported)

  domainservers
    Usage
          $spf->domainservers( domain, alias, ... )

    Purpose
        Create SPF records to indicate that servers identified by 'alias,
        ...' are allowed to send from 'domain'. All others are subject to
        the policy defined by softhard()

    Returns
        Nothing Yet

    Arguments

        domain
            Domain name to which you are adding mail servers to for SPF
            record generation.

        alias, ...
            List of server aliases, defined with the mailserver() function.

  domainincludes
    Usage
          $spf->domainincludes( my_domain, other_domain, ... )

    Purpose
        Creates 'SPFinclude=other_domain' TXT records for my_domain; this
        allows my_domain to designate mailservers belonging to other_domain.

    Arguments

        my_domain
            Domain under our control.

        other_domain, ...
            List of domains which SPFinclude records will point to. These
            domains are not under our control, but we want to designate
            their servers.

    Notes
        If the other_domains are under your control, use domainservers() to
        create full-fledged entries for them directly; this improves query
        time and saves traffic.

  output
    Usage
          print $spf->output();

        or

          my $output = $spf->output();

    Purpose
        Compiles domain information collected by all the previous method
        calls, and produces an output suitable for use in the specified (or
        default, if you didn't specify) name server.

    Returns
        A multi-line string containing the output.

    Arguments
        This function will take an 'explicit_wildcards' and 'format' option
        as documented under the new() function. The supplied values will be
        used to override the default provided in the new() function for the
        current run only.

BUGS
    Undoubtably some, tests are the next thing on the list to be written.
