Running 3.17 with Mail-SPF-Query-1.999.1 installed. During make test, it seemed to pass all 36 tests in t/spf...ok. But when I do a debug test via spamassassin -D sample-nonspam.txt, it doesn't seem to return debug: registering glue method for check_for_spf_helo_pass (Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF=HASH(0x8d21990)). I then sent a test email from another machine, forging an email with a domain known to have a good SPF record and I didn't see any references to SPF in the tests section. So what might be the issue here? TIA for any insights. spamassassin -D file 21 | grep -i spf check the output which MTA do you use ? Your MTA must insert an X-Envelope-From: header ( or similar ) Thanks Ram

I'm using sendmail so I see that I have to modify sendmail.cf by adding H?l?X-Envelope-From: $f. By the way, how can I add that bit via sendmail.mc instead of modifying sendmail.cf directly? Anyway, this is what I get with the sample non-sample: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7]# spamassassin -D sample-nonspam.txt 21 | grep -i spf [25342] dbg: config: read file /usr/share/spamassassin/25_spf.cf [25342] dbg: config: read file /usr/share/spamassassin/60_whitelist_spf.cf Even with a piece of mail that I had saved from a domain that has a confirmed SPF record (and a X-Envelope-From: header), I get the same output as above. Thanks. --Henry P.S. Sorry if this is a dupe. Wasn't sure if this got sent as Pine complained about my mailbox when I tried to send it earlier.

Your MTA must insert an X-Envelope-From: header ( or similar ) Thanks Ram Hi, After some more banging my head against the wall, I discovered that SPF checking was disabled because I wasn't loading the plugin in my init.pre. Apparently my init.pre is so old that it never included a section on SPF. So everytime I upgraded, the new version SA would never replace my old init.pre so the SPF plugin was never getting loaded. After I insert the load plugin section into init.pre and restarted spamd, SPF checking is now working. Doh! Thanks for your help.
