I just installed Mail::SPF on an exim mail server and it seems to be working
quite well. (using socket from exim to spfd)

grep openspf /var/log/exim/maillog | wc -l
1404

(this is over about 1 hour of usage) and spot checking seems to working
correctly. (some examples below).

In the headers for example with no SPF record:
Received-SPF: none (exim.org: No applicable sender policy available)

In the headers for example with SPF record which passed:
Received-SPF: pass (google.com: 64.233.184.249 is authorized to use
'googlealerts-noreply@google.com' in 'mfrom' identity (mechanism 'ptr'
matched))

See RFC 4408[1], 6.2:

| If check_host() results in a "Fail" due to a mechanism match (such as
| "-all"), and the "exp" modifier is present, then the explanation string
| returned is computed as described below.

Although it would have been nice being able to use the "exp" explanation
with result codes other than "Fail", it simply wasn't specified that way,
so you cannot assume that published authority explanations actually apply
to (i.e. make sense for) any other result codes.

Hi Julian,

The oddest thing: with Mail-SPF-2.002, I cannot reproduce the error any
more. Seems to have just gone away. :)

I'd still like to report back to the Module::Build developers what
Data::Dumper version you have. And did you keep the failing _build/
build_params file?

My Data::Dumper version is: 2.121_08.

I do not have the build_params file any longer. Also, I downloaded earlier
versions of your Mail-SPF, but do not not give me the error either. If I
can trust my url history, I think I originally downloaded from
/Mail-SPF-2.000_003/ on CPAN. But that is no longer there.

Thanks, I'll forward that information to the M::B devs.

I have sent you the 2.000_003 release directly. Please try to reproduce
the problem and send me the failing _build/build_params file.

TIA,
Julian.

Ok, this one gave me the error again. I attached the build_params file and
sent it to your address. Not exactly sure what good it will do, as your
current release has the problem fixed already; but hey, here it is.

N.B. Outlook renamed the file to "build_params.dat" for some reason; but
I'm sure you'll manage. :)

I did nothing in the 2.001 or 2.002 releases that could have fixed the
issue (perhaps with the exception of the package's version number no
longer containing an underscore, but that shouldn't affect Module::Build).

Thank you for reproducing the problem. I am forwarding the information to
the Module::Build developers in the hope that they can nail down the
problem.
