# Mail::Milter::Module::HeloRegex(3pm)

milter to accept/reject connections with certain HELO values

## NAME

Mail::Milter::Module::HeloRegex - milter to accept/reject connections with certain HELO values

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Mail::Milter::Module::HeloRegex;
    my $milter = new Mail::Milter::Module::HeloRegex('^foo\.com$');
    my $milter2 = &HeloRegex('^foo\.com$'); # convenience
```

## DESCRIPTION

This milter module rejects entire SMTP connections if the connecting client issues a HELO command matching user-supplied regular expressions.  Note that only the initial word of the HELO string is tested; any EHLO parameters are not checked by the regexes.

## METHODS

new(REGEX\[, ...\])

Accepts one or more regular expressions, as strings or qr// precompiled regexes.  They are tested in sequence, and the first match terminates checking.

set\_message(MESSAGE)

Sets the message used when rejecting messages.  This string may contain the substring `%H`, which will be replaced by the matching HELO parameter.

This method returns a reference to the object itself, allowing this method call to be chained.
