NAME
       Mail::DKIM - Signs/verifies Internet mail with DKIM/DomainKey signatures

SYNOPSIS
         # verify a message
         use Mail::DKIM::Verifier;

         # create a verifier object
         my $dkim = Mail::DKIM::Verifier->new();

         # read an email from stdin, pass it into the verifier
         while (<STDIN>)
         {
             # remove local line terminators
             chomp;
             s/\015$//;

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

         # what is the result of the verify?
         my $result = $dkim->result;

DESCRIPTION
       This module implements the various components of the DKIM and DomainKeys message-signing and verifying standards for
       Internet mail.  It currently tries to implement these specifications:

       RFC4871, for DKIM
       RFC4870, for DomainKeys

       The module uses an object-oriented interface. You use one of two different classes, depending on whether you are signing
       or verifying a message. To sign, use the Mail::DKIM::Signer class. To verify, use the Mail::DKIM::Verifier class. Simple,
       eh?

KNOWN BUGS
       Problems passing `make test' seem to usually point at a faulty DNS configuration on your machine, or something weird
       about your OpenSSL libraries.

       The "author signing policy" component is still under construction. The author signing policy is supposed to identify the
       practice of the message author, so you could for example reject a message from an author who claims they always sign
       their messages. See Mail::DKIM::Policy.
