Summary : Milter to enable SPF checking in sendmail
Description :
sendmail-milter-spf is a mail filter designed to be used with sendmail
to implement checking of DNS spf records (see http://spf.pobox.com/)
to detect forged mail sender addresses.
I think its yours, Paul. B^) B^)
Yes, I'm the guilty party there. Do you have my perl modules too?
perl-Mail-SPF-Query perl-Mail-SRS perl-Net-CIDR perl-Sendmail-Milter perl-Net-CIDR-Lite perl-Net-DNS perl-Sys-Hostname-Long
I probably had to install some of them, now that you mention it....
If you start the milter whilst sendmail is not running, are there definitely no log messages in /var/log/maillog?
Not until an email comes in. service says that the PIDfile exists, but no process is running.
When an email comes in I see:
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter (spf-milter): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/spf-milter/spf-milter.sock
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter (spf-milter): to error state
Oct 17 09:37:47 kjc386 sendmail[2296]: i9HDblkJ002296: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands
And the email is then bounced (temporarily) by sendmail.
Does the socket get created in /var/spf-milter?
Not sure, I haven't looked whilest it was dead. It certainly exists after I restart it. I also see some "log" files in there. But the recent spflog-2004xx.log files only seem to be recording the successful startups:
/var/spf-milter/spflog-200410.log Fri Oct 15 18:06:34 2004: Starting Sendmail::Milter 0.18 engine Mon Oct 18 00:19:39 2004: Starting Sendmail::Milter 0.18 engine
Not much useful there either. I have to go back to the spflog-200402.log file to find a log of "failed" emails. (which I'm pretty sure was my previous version.) Yes, I realize that they are being logged in the /var/log/maillog these days.
I've not played with the perl milter for some time now as Mark appears to have stopped developing it and I've moved on to using Jef Poskanzer's C-based milter instead.
At the time I downloaded it, I was just looking for an RPM of spf-milter, and that's the one I found.... I was looking to upgrade to a more up-to-date SPF implementation than I had been running.
What is the name of Jef Poskanzer's milter, and where might I find it, and is there an RPM for it?
