I don't know if i'm the only one, or not. But it's rather easy to fix.
Solution :
In /etc/spamassassin/local.cf find the line : spf_timeout 5
Before this line, add the following line to it :
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
Then the issue is solved.
file : /etc/spamassassin/local.cf
example :
# For Mail::SPF
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
spf_timeout 5If you don't know if you have this problem, you can verify spamasassin by running the following command:
sudo spamassassin --lint
If it shows nothing, all is working fine. If it produces the output above, then you can apply the rule to fix it.
Example issue :
crazypiano@mail:~$ sudo spamassassin --lint
