But you didn't use spamd when you ran spamassassin -D.

The IP address that failed has the rDNS eilopu.iki.fi. and the website
for iki.fi says it's a web and mail forwarding service - it's
certainly not a paypal IP address. I think it's probably a difference in
internal networks between spamd and spamassassin.

Perhaps a receive line is synthesized in your mail stream that differs from the end result?

I was now trying to debug with spamassassin -D  to find out why sfp 
fails, but could not. It just works now, and I did not even restart 
spamd between...

Some temporary hickup? Ah well...

Sorry for the noise.

Not in this case. Note that the URL in the SPF_FAIL line indicates 
emea.e.paypal.com as the sender domain. Not a complex record.

Probably this bug, which we are still working out a good solution for:
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7182

The SPF RFC has a "MUST" constraint on 10 lookups per SPF check, which 
Paypal has broken before. The reasoning given is resistance to denial of 
service attacks via DNS traffic, which makes it a tricky fix. We'll 
discuss the KAM.cf issue privately, and bring it back on-list in dev@ if 
it comes back to new information on this issue.

There seems to be something in the spf detection. SPF claims that paypal 
is not allowed (by their sfp record) to send mail via my email relay. 
That relay IS in my trusted_networks. What am I missing now?

You are using KAM.cf which isn't a project ruleset.

Please report the issue and a spample at 
https://raptor.pccc.com/raptor.cgim?template=report_problem

We can likely look at it quickly and adjust.  However, the fact that SPF 
failed makes me lean towards the fact that the rule fired correctly...
