SPF & proxy filters

2004-09-10 11:48:57
Hi all. Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I'm sure it must have been, but I cannot find anything useful in the archives.

My problem is that for security reasons, all incoming email is first recieved by my Checkpoint firewall's SMTP Security Server. It is then handed off to my Exim/SpamAssassin box. I want to have Exim run SPF checks on the incoming mail and add the SPF headers. I am not at this point interested in enforcing any sort of policy, I just want the headers. The problem, of course, is that while Checkpoint preserves the envelope headers, the Exim box sees the sending IP and HELO as the firewall. I'm thinking that A) I'm SOL in terms of the specifications and B) if I want this to work I'm going to have to kludge something together that extracts the IP address of the sending host from the recieved headers and calls spfd itself or (>shudder<) write an OPSEC compliant module for the firewall itself.

Has anyone else already dealt with issues like this?

Thanks,
Kevin
