README for Mail::Field::Received Mail::Field::Received ===================== Mail::Field::Received is a parser of `Received' headers in e-mails. It mostly complies with RFC822, but deviates to accomodate a number of broken MTAs which are in common use. Uses ---- Any program which requires detailed information about the journey an e-mail took in order to arrive at its present location should find this parser very handy. See for an e-mail filter which uses this module as part of its spam detection heuristics. Prerequisites ------------- This suite requires Perl 5.005 or higher. Mail::Field::Received also needs Mail::Field. Installation ------------ See INSTALL. Documentation ------------- POD-format documentation is included in Received.pm. POD is readable with the 'perldoc' utility. Support ------- Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for Mail::Field::Received should just be sent to me at . Availability ------------ The latest version of Mail::Field::Received is available from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit to find a CPAN site near you.
