Thanks for pointing this out, but it doesn't seem to allow tweaking as much as "spfquery" (from spfquery/libspf2). I needed basic stuff like "override" (in order to test the rules) and "max-interactive-terms" to spot some issues in a system with a broken spf policy that was trying to deliver to my system. It seems that only spfquery.libspf2 can be used for such purposes.

Black Magic was meant to be a holding ground for non-standardized hacks (like SPF best guess), but it never got past the idea stage and probably never will. >Basically all the debugging functionality listed in the spfquery >manpage >is thus actually unimplemented!?..

That's quite a bit of documentation for an hypothetical module! I had to install the "spfquery" package to actually debug some domain rules.

While spfquery refers to Mail::SPF::BlackMagic, this module is not in the https://metacpan.org/release/Mail-SPF distribution; and a search for it on the CPAN doesn't return any results either (except for refrences/links which go nowhere) :/ The quote from the README You can easily sub-class Mail::SPF::Server and the Mail::SPF::Result class collection in order to extend or modify their behavior. The hypothetical Mail::SPF::BlackMagic package was once supposed to make use of this. also doesn't increase the hopes. So unless someone finds Mail::SPF::BlackMagic somewhere, we won't be able to package/ship it. Otherwise it might make sense to patch out the references to ::BlackMagic from the existing code … Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Bettina Wegner: Auf der Wiese signature.asc Description: Digital Signature

Package: libmail-spf-perl Version: 2.9.0-4 Severity: normal I was trying to use spfquery from spf-tools-perl to debug some spf rules. Most of the options which are useful for debugging are relegated behind the --enable-black-magic option which attempts to load Mail::SPF::BlackMagic, which in turn is not included in libmail-spf-perl. Could you consider including also the 'black magic' functionality? (that I would actually consider "normal debugging stuff" in my book).
