SPF with spamassassin

[Tarak Ranjan <co...@yahoo.co.in>]

Hi, 

I need to understand how to implement and test spf with spamassassin. I 
have not found much information on the internet. Can anybody please help
with directions and/or practical tips. 

Thanks,

1) install the perl module Mail::SPF, or Mail::SPF::Query

2) make sure this line of init.pre is not commented out (should be 
uncommented by default):

loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF


After that, SA should start using SPF.

If you need to tweak some of the more advanced settings:

Also, if you get strange behaviors, check your trusted_networks. SA 
tends to get confused if your MX is NAT mapped, as it assumes the first 
public IP is part of your network.
