Dear Christoph and clamav team,

we about to activate failure based upon SPF records. For four days now we
have had it running on our MTA, but before we start rejecting we decided
to watch the Received-SPF headers for any signs of unwanted failures. Of
all the failures only one is a problem for us. Namely the clamav list
emails. See headers as follows :-

As you can see had we started rejecting, then this message

[Clamav-virusdb] Update (daily: 556)

would have been rejected. I have manually checked the SPF records and
while clamav.net doesn't list any spf permissions the Return-path :
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
domain lists.clamav.net lists :-

lists.clamav.net.       300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx -all"

the mx as permitted, namely :-

lists.clamav.net.       1200    IN      MX      20 mail.oltrelinux.com.
lists.clamav.net.       1200    IN      MX      10 aj.catt.com.

mail.oltrelinux.com.    3600    IN      A       194.242.226.43
aj.catt.com.            2277    IN      A       64.18.103.6

I not an expert on SPF (yet) and I appologies if I have done something
wrong on my end but as I understand it according to the SPF authorities
for the return paths quoted in this email the server :-

externalmx-1.sourceforge.net : 12.152.184.25

is not permitted to send emails for this domain.

Am I correct and do you need to fix your SPF records ?

Jim :-)
