how to implement SPF

[sadiq007]

My domain contain following txt record
"v=spf1 ip4:203.77.192.0/24 ip4:61.16.226.0/24 ~all"
Now i want to setup SPF in zimbra...
so i install perl-Mail-SPF as a root user by using
yum install perl-Mail-SPF

and after restarting zimbra i run perl -e 'require Mail::SPF::Query'
but it will giving error like this:

Can't locate Mail/SPF/Query.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at -e line 1.

So what is the possible problem?
and after installing perl-Mail-SPF what i need to change for enabling SPF check in zimbra?

[uxbod]

Has it installed okay?

find /usr/lib -name "*SPF*" -print

Hi Ux,
yeh installation is okay.

[root@mail ~]# find /usr/lib -name "*SPF*" -print
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SPF.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/SPF.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SPF
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/RR/SPF.pm

I think you'll find that "Mail::SPF::Query" is not "perl-Mail-SPF" and the two are mutually exclusive.

[uxbod]

It is not in the INC path. Have you installed Perl outside of package managment at all ?

[sadiq007]

hi,
I have redhat5.3 so i just first install http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/r...l5.rf.i386.rpm
and then as a root do yum install perl-Mail-SPF ..thats all...
any more idea ?
as you can see find /usr/lib -name "*SPF*" -print showing path /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/
while perl -e 'require Mail::SPF::Query' is searching it at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 and in /5.8.7, /5.8.6 how can i adjust this path?

[uxbod]

I would remove that package and use the one from epel instead.

[sadiq007]

what is this epel? how can i get this new package from epel ?

EPEL - FedoraProject

[sadiq007]

dear UX still same problem...
i had done following....
first i uninstall perl-Mail-SPF then
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'yum install perl-Mail-SPF'

this is its output ...

Is this ok [y/N]: y

[root@mail ~]# rpm -qa | grep SPF
perl-Mail-SPF-2.006-1.el5

As i have another zimbra installed on CentoOS 5.3 also ... and i freshly install SPf like this
================================================== ======
as a root user....
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'yum install perl-Mail-SPF'
and yet perl command giving the same error which i am getting earlier on zimbra with redhat5.3
[root@newmail ~]# perl -e 'require Mail::SPF::Query'
Can't locate Mail/SPF/Query.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at -e line 1.
[root@newmail ~]# su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'

so what is the secret to install perl-Mail-SPF ? any more idea?
