spfd vs postfix

Post #1 of 3 (5971 views)

Hi|

I'm using postfix 2.2.3
with perl-Mail-SPF-Query-1.999.1-1
and spfd (# $Id: spfd 141 2006-02-07 00:04:51Z julian $)

Then I did the following

$ echo /usr/bin/spfd --set-user nobody --set-group nobody | at now
$ ps -ef | grep spfd
nobody 20791 20790 0 14:43 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/spfd listening on TCP port 5970

$ vi /etc/postfix/main.cf , I added the 'check_policy_service' at end of
'smtpd_recipient_restrictions' section
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
...cut...
check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:5970

$ postfix stop ; postfix start

$ tail /var/log/messages
Mar 15 14:52:49 smtpext1 postfix/smtpd[12501]: warning: missing attribute action in input from
127.0.0.1:5970
Mar 15 14:52:49 smtpext1 postfix/smtpd[12501]: warning: problem talking to server 127.0.0.1:5970:
Success

Did I miss something ?

Thanks,
Eddy

First, this question is more appropriate for spf-help, not for srs-discuss
(or spf-discuss, for that matter).

Yes, you missed something. You should not be using spfd as the Postfix
policy daemon, but examples/postfix-policyd-spf instead. spfd is not what
you think it is.
