Mail::SpamAssassin::DnsResolver
NAMEDESCRIPTION
METHODS
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::DnsResolver − DNS resolution engine
DESCRIPTION
This is a DNS resolution engine for SpamAssassin, implemented in order to reduce file descriptor usage by Net::DNS and avoid a response collision bug in that module.
METHODS
$res−>load_resolver()
Load the "Net::DNS::Resolver" object. Returns 0 if Net::DNS cannot be used, 1 if it is available.
$resolver = $res−>get_resolver()
Return the "Net::DNS::Resolver" object.
$res−>nameservers()
Wrapper for Net::DNS::Resolver−>nameservers to get or set list of nameservers
$res−>connect_sock()
Re-connect to the first nameserver listed in "/etc/resolv.conf" or similar platform-dependent source, as provided by "Net::DNS".
$res−>get_sock()
Return the "IO::Socket::INET" object used to communicate with the nameserver.
$packet = new_dns_packet ($host, $type, $class)
A wrapper for "Net::DNS::Packet::new()" which traps a die thrown by it.
To use this, change calls to "Net::DNS::Resolver::bgsend" from:
$res−>bgsend($hostname, $type);
to:
$res−>bgsend(Mail::SpamAssassin::DnsResolver::new_dns_packet($hostname, $type, $class));
$id = $res−>bgsend($host, $type, $class, $cb)
Quite similar to "Net::DNS::Resolver::bgsend", except that when a response packet eventually arrives, and "poll_responses" is called, the callback sub reference $cb will be called.
Note that $type and $class may be "undef", in which case they will default to "A" and "IN", respectively.
The callback sub will be called with three arguments -- the packet that was delivered, and an id string that fingerprints the query packet and the expected reply. The third argument is a timestamp (Unix time, floating point), captured at the time the packet was collected. It is expected that a closure callback be used, like so:
my $id = $self−>{resolver}−>bgsend($host, $type, undef, sub {
my ($reply, $reply_id, $timestamp) = @_;
$self−>got_a_reply ($reply, $reply_id);
});
The callback can ignore the reply as an invalid packet sent to the listening port if the reply id does not match the return value from bgsend.
$nfound = $res−>poll_responses()
See if there are any "bgsend" response packets ready, and return the number of such packets delivered to their callbacks.
$res−>bgabort()
Call this to release pending requests from memory, when aborting backgrounded requests, or when the scan is complete. "Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus::check" calls this before returning.
$packet = $res−>send($name, $type, $class)
Emulates "Net::DNS::Resolver::send()".
$res−>errorstring()
Little more than a stub for callers expecting this from "Net::DNS::Resolver".
If called immediately after a call to $res−>send this will return "query timed out" if the $res−>send DNS query timed out. Otherwise "unknown error or no error" will be returned.
No other errors are reported.
$res−>finish_socket()
Reset socket when done with it.
$res−>finish()
Clean up for destruction.
