=head1 qpsmtpd plugin system; developer documentation
See the examples in plugins/ and ask questions on the qpsmtpd
mailinglist; subscribe by sending mail to qpsmtpd-subscribe@perl.org.
=head1 General return codes
Each plugin must return an allowed constant for the hook and (usually)
optionally a "message".
Generally all plugins for a hook are processed until one returns
something other than "DECLINED".
Plugins are run in the order they are listed in the "plugins"
configuration.
=over 4
=item OK
Action allowed
=item DENY
Action denied
=item DENYSOFT
Action denied; return a temporary rejection code (say 450 instead of 550).
=item DENYHARD
Action denied; return a permanent rejection code and disconnect the client.
Use this for "rude" clients.
=item DECLINED
Plugin declined work; proceed as usual. This return code is _always_
_allowed_ unless noted otherwise.
=item DONE
Finishing processing of the request. Usually used when the plugin
sent the response to the client.
=back
See more detailed description for each hook below.
=head1 Hooks
=head2 mail
Called right after the envelope sender address is passed. The plugin
gets passed a Mail::Address object. Default is to allow the
recipient.
Allowed return codes
OK - sender allowed
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DENYHARD - Return a hard failure code and disconnect
DONE - skip further processing
=head2 rcpt
Hook for the "rcpt" command. Defaults to deny the mail with a soft
error code.
Allowed return codes
OK - recipient allowed
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DENYHARD - Return a hard failure code and disconnect
DONE - skip further processing
=head2 data_post
Hook after receiving all data; just before the message is queued.
DENY - Return a hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return a soft failure code
DENYHARD - Return a hard failure code and disconnect
DONE - skip further processing (message will not be queued)
All other codes and the message will be queued normally
=head2 queue
Called on completion of the DATA command.
DONE - skip further processing (plugin gave response code)
OK - Return success message
DENY - Return hard failure code
DENYSOFT - Return soft failure code
DENYHARD - Return a hard failure code and disconnect
Any other code will return a soft failure code.
=head2 connect
Allowed return codes:
OK - Stop processing plugins, give the default response
DECLINED - Process the next plugin
DONE - Stop processing plugins and don't give the default response
=head2 quit
Called on the "quit" command.
Allowed return codes:
DONE
Works like the "connect" hook.
=head2 helo
Called on "helo" from the client.
DENY - Return a 550 code
DENYSOFT - Return a 450 code
DENYHARD - Return a hard failure code and disconnect
DONE - Qpsmtpd won't do anything; the plugin sent the message
DECLINED - Qpsmtpd will send the standard HELO message
=head2 unrecognized_command
Called when we get a command that isn't recognized.
DENY - Return 521 and disconnect the client
DONE - Qpsmtpd won't do anything; the plugin responded
Anything else - Return '500 Unrecognized command'
=head2 disconnect
Called just before we shutdown a connection.
The return code is ignored. If a plugin returns anything but DECLINED
the following plugins will not be run (like with all other hooks).
=head2 deny
Called when another hook returns DENY or DENYSOFT. First parameter is
the previous hook return code; the second parameter the message the
hook returned.
Returning DONE or OK will stop the next deny hook from being run.
DECLINED will make qpsmtpd run the remaining configured deny hooks.
