I've only recently installed libspf2 (version 1.0.4, plus policyd-1.0.1,
running from postfix), and I don't understand the results I'm getting.
For instance recreating a rejected request with the spfquery tool (see
below) appears to fail the request, but if I go to the pobox URL reported
in the message, it seems to say the request should have been accepted.
Which is correct, or am I just hopelessly confused?
spfquery -ip 216.39.67.118 -sender xxxxx(_at_)ProcessRequest(_dot_)com
fail
Please see
http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=xxxxx%40ProcessRequest.com&ip=216.39.67.118&receiver=spfquery
spfquery: domain of ProcessRequest.com does not designate 216.39.67.118 as
permitted sender
Received-SPF: fail (spfquery: domain of ProcessRequest.com does not
designate 216.39.67.118 as permitted sender) client-ip=216.39.67.118;
envelope-from=xxxxx(_at_)ProcessRequest(_dot_)com;
And the URL says:
spfquery saw a message coming from the IP address 216.39.67.118 which is
dal1bs050.processrequest.com; the sender claimed to be
xxxxx(_at_)ProcessRequest(_dot_)com(_dot_)
dal1bs050.processrequest.com is approved for ProcessRequest.com, so that
mail should have been accepted.
Cheers,
