You might want to alter 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kitterman/postfix-policyd-spf-perl/trunk/view/head:/postfix-policyd-spf-perl
to return a proper reject-message if no spy-record was found.

Best regards,

Hello Mark. A

Don't you think you guys are telling that what is SPF and how should we
use it. SPF is in system for a while, almost everyone is aware what it is.
And what it does.

funny enough, no one answered to the actual question. all this info is
available on the web. Anyways

Fix your backup server to have the data required to perform the
filtering.  Don't force the rest of the world to waste cycles and
bandwidth attempting to send email to a backup MX that you have
advertised.  If you can't do it correctly, DO NOT DO IT.

Why would you want to reject mail from legitimite senders that do not
have SPF records published?

Reject Action For SPF

2012-05-03 Thread Prabhpal S. Mavi

Dear Friends,

i have setup SPF alright, postfix is performing check as well (results
below), but even if there is no SPF record exist for a domain, message is
still accepted.

how can i set the reject action, if no SPF available.

May  3 16:11:14 titan postfix/policy-spf[5353]: : SPF none (No applicable
sender policy available): Envelope-from: somedomain.com
