viaspf-record

The viaspf-record library contains a data model and parser for SPF records. SPF records are described in the Sender Policy Framework specification, version 1 (RFC 7208).

The data structures in this library constitute a complete and faithful encoding of the ABNF in RFC 7208, section 12. Extensive checking ensures correctness and conformance with the specification.

This library is used in viaspf, where you can find a complete implementation of SPF, including APIs for performing SPF queries. The viaspf-record library is a stand-alone product and could also be used in other projects.

The minimum supported Rust version is 1.65.0.

Usage

This is a Rust library. Include viaspf-record in Cargo.toml as usual.

The struct SpfRecord represents a syntactically valid SPF record. An SpfRecord can be constructed programmatically or parsed from a string.

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use viaspf_record::*;

let spf_record = "v=spf1 mx ip4:12.34.56.78/24 -all".parse();

assert_eq!(
    spf_record,
    Ok(SpfRecord {
        terms: vec![
            Term::Directive(Directive {
                qualifier: None,
                mechanism: Mechanism::Mx(Mx {
                    domain_spec: None,
                    prefix_len: None,
                }),
            }),
            Term::Directive(Directive {
                qualifier: None,
                mechanism: Mechanism::Ip4(Ip4 {
                    addr: Ipv4Addr::new(12, 34, 56, 78),
                    prefix_len: Some(Ip4CidrLength::new(24).unwrap()),
                }),
            }),
            Term::Directive(Directive {
                qualifier: Some(Qualifier::Fail),
                mechanism: Mechanism::All,
            }),
        ],
    })
);
