Hi,
which file adjust the scoring for the SpamAssassin rules for testing SPF compliance on received emails?
Is it /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf?
The SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon is disabled, because of ENABLED=0 in /etc/default/spamassassin.

Currently I see these in my Content analysis details:

0.0 SPF_FAIL               SPF: sender does not match SPF record (fail)

Re: Scoring for SPF

Ok, with the setup from above these lines in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf controls the scoring:

score SPF_FAIL 7
score SPF_SOFTFAIL 4.5
score SPF_NEUTRAL 3

Re: Scoring for SPF

Thanks for sharing.

But not all senders have correct SPF record, high SPF_FAIL score (7) may be not ideal. I'd like to hear from you after running with this score setting for some time.

Re: Scoring for SPF

It works fine until now, no mismatch! My main intention was to mark all mails which claim to be from my own domain as spam.

iRedAPD plugin 'reject_sender_login_mismatch' can do this for you. It will detect whether sender is hosted on localhost, if sender didn't perform smtp auth, it will be rejected.

Ok, the same as here: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic1139 … login.html

But I willed reject with SPF check for what it is originary: reject mails from my own domain name, sent from a different server.
