💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically? this is a Mail::Audit plugin, and what it gives you is a method for checking messages against the Relay Black List 🌈 that's it, that's the whole personality, and it ate 🫶

🧚 METHODS 🧚

• rblcheck([$timeout]) — this one goes and attempts to check the mail headers with the Relay Blackhole List 👑 and here's the tea: it returns false if the headers check out fine or if the query times out, and it returns a reason if the mail is considered spam 💀 so a falsy return doesn't automatically mean "all clear", it can also mean "the query timed out", fr fr. and $timeout is optional, it's the thing in the square brackets, you don't have to pass it 😌
