SPF Question

[randall]

Hi all,

Im interested to integrate SPF in my Zimbra installation, and I have this instruction from the zimbra wiki for Ubuntu (dapper drake).

sudo apt-get install libmail-spf-query-perl

After this has been installed, should there be anything more I need to do so that it will be used properly by Zimbra?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

That's only one of the steps needed, you need to make changes to the spamassassin config (further down that page).

I've been looking as where to enable this SPF in spamassassin config but not lucky to find it. I have looked at the entire forum also in vain.

The v310 file doens't have the option to load SPF. Do i have to add the line manually or was it not really included at all?

If I have to add the line manually, how do I do it? Anyone who have the luck doing this in Dapper Drake?

Thanks so much in advance.

There's nothing else to do apart from add the perl module and make the score changes in the config as per the wiki article. You can see if it's getting called by looking at the /var/log/zimbra.log and looking for SPF - you should see entries in there like the following:

Aug 13 17:38:42 chinook amavis[1715]: Module Mail::SPF::Query    1.999001

you should see those entries without the score having been set.

Thanks for the reply Bill.

I will check this one out.

Ok Bill, somehow I think I manage this to work since I can see that my e-mail now have an SPF in the header when I tested sending to Gmail.

My concern now is, I think, it's not checking the incoming mails for SPF and I keep looking for the similar message you posted, but I'm not having it in my logs, so that means that incoming mails are not being tested for SPF.

Am i missing something still?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Hello,
I have the same issue as randall. I can see SPF check in email when I send to gmail. But it's not checking the incoming mails for SPF. Am I missing anythings?
Do you have ways to debug it?

I have this log in zimbra.log
Dec 6 17:12:43 server amavis[13528]: Module Mail::SPF v2.005

Best Regards,

Make sure that any lines you've added to config files have carriage returns and that there are no extraneous characters, this does work as described in the wiki.

Hi, phoenix. Please show your configuration exactly. I don't still have it to work.

Many thanks for your information.

It's exactly as described in the wiki article.
