I have a qmail system running maildrop which
calls spfquery with the appropriate headers and
It appears everyone that has an spf record in their
dns fails to this list, all others return none.
(i add headers to incoming mail to identify this)
Is this the expected behavior?
No, this is not expected...
according to:
http://spf.pobox.com/newheader.html
When an SPF query returns "fail", the MTA should reject the connection.
There would be a lot of mail going to the bit bucket,
or whatever, if I did that.
Usually, mailing lists are supposed to put the listmasters address in
the enveloppe From (in this case
owner-spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com),
and the spf list does indeed set this correctly (or else many other
people, such as myself, would reject the list as well...).
Maybe what is happening is that some program local to you is stripping
the envelope From, and then reinitializing it from the header From?
