SFP question

[Marco Michelino <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi list,
I have a question about SPF support.

On my server, SPF_HELO_* tests work properly while SPF_* checks are
never performed; why this?
How does spamassassin decide to perform one test or the other?

In 25_spf.cf I see:
tflags SPF_PASS                 net nice userconf
but I cant'understand what "userconf" can be set...

I'm using spamassassin 3.0.3-2sarge1 and libmail-spf-query 1.999.1-2
(no, I can't upgrade to the most recent spamassassin right now)

Thank you

Actually, if any SPF tests are run, they are ALL run.

My guess is you have a broken trust path, which is causing the normal
SPF rules to not match correctly.

In general, it won't run tests that have had their scores set to 0. Also
some rules are disabled in groups by disabling the associated plugin.

However, this is NOT your problem.

trusted_networks and internal_networks.

Shouldn't matter, but it would be a good idea to update when you can.
Debian distro packages are really good for packages that you want to be
highly stable, but very bad for packages you want to be up-to-date.
