Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF(3)
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF - perform SPF verification tests
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
DESCRIPTION
This plugin checks a message against Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
records published by the domain owners in DNS to fight email address
forgery and make it easier to identify spams.
USER SETTINGS
whitelist_from_spf add@ress.com
Use this to supplement the whitelist_from addresses with a check
against the domain's SPF record. Aside from the name
'whitelist_from_spf', the syntax is exactly the same as the syntax
for 'whitelist_from'.
Just like whitelist_from, multiple addresses per line, separated by
spaces, are OK. Multiple "whitelist_from_spf" lines are also OK.
The headers checked for whitelist_from_spf addresses are the same
headers used for SPF checks (Envelope-From, Return-Path,
X-Envelope-From, etc).
Since this whitelist requires an SPF check to be made network tests
must be enabled. It is also required that your trust path be
correctly configured. See the section on "trusted_networks" for
more info on trust paths.
e.g.
whitelist_from_spf joe@example.com fred@example.com
whitelist_from_spf *@example.com
def_whitelist_from_spf add@ress.com
Same as "whitelist_from_spf", but used for the default whitelist
entries in the SpamAssassin distribution. The whitelist score is
lower, because these are often targets for spammer spoofing.
ADMINISTRATOR OPTIONS
spf_timeout n (default: 5)
How many seconds to wait for an SPF query to complete, before
scanning continues without the SPF result.
do_not_use_mail_spf (0|1) (default: 0)
By default the plugin will try to use the Mail::SPF module for SPF
checks if it can be loaded. If Mail::SPF cannot be used the plugin
will fall back to using the legacy Mail::SPF::Query module if it
can be loaded.
Use this option to stop the plugin from using Mail::SPF and cause
it to try to use Mail::SPF::Query instead.
do_not_use_mail_spq_query (0|1) (default: 0)
As above, but instead stop the plugin from trying to use
Mail::SPF::Query and cause it to only try to use Mail::SPF.
ignore_received_spf_header (0|1) (default: 0)
By default, to avoid unnecessary DNS lookups, the plugin will try
to use the SPF results found in any "Received-SPF" headers it finds
in the message that could only have been added by an internal
relay.
Set this option to 1 to ignore any "Received-SPF" headers present
and to have the plugin perform the SPF check itself.
Note that unless the plugin finds an "identity=helo", or some
unsupported identity, it will assume that the result is a mfrom SPF
check result. The only identities supported are "mfrom",
"mailfrom" and "helo".
use_newest_received_spf_header (0|1) (default: 0)
By default, when using "Received-SPF" headers, the plugin will
attempt to use the oldest (bottom most) "Received-SPF" headers,
that were added by internal relays, that it can parse results from
since they are the most likely to be accurate. This is done so
that if you have an incoming mail setup where one of your primary
MXes doesn't know about a secondary MX (or your MXes don't know
about some sort of forwarding relay that SA considers
trusted+internal) but SA is aware of the actual domain boundary
(internal_networks setting) SA will use the results that are most
accurate.
Use this option to start with the newest (top most) "Received-SPF"
headers, working downwards until results are successfully parsed.
