Hi all

I am going nuts - I have used spf before but I just cannot get it working on 
this FreeBSD 8.2 system.

I suspect I have done something so obviously stupid that I cannot see it.
 Postgrey is working. 
How can I trace the cause of the problem?
Is spf-policyd_time_limit correctly specified?
All the docs I have seen suggest postfix-policyd-spf-perl be set up to run as 
user nobody. Is that correct?


I have raised the problem on the postfix users list but so far the pearls of 
wisdom have not solved the problem!

Cannot get spf working with the server. 
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

David

Here is the information:

The following lines appear in master.cf:
# Applied #1 postfix refereshed ok
  policyd-spf unix -       n       n       -       0       spawn
           user=nobody argv=/usr/local/sbin/postfix-policyd-spf-perl

user nobody is in /etc/passwd
nobody:*:65534:65534:Unprivileged user:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

[admin@dns1 /usr/local/sbin]$ ls -l |grep postfix
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      117601 Nov  3 08:22 postfix
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       11526 Nov  3 08:16 postfix-policyd-spf-perl



 If the following lines appear in main.cf 
  check_policy_service unix:private/policyd-spf
  spf-policyd_time_limit = 3600s
 In the following context
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

  check_policy_service unix:private/policyd-spf
 spf-policyd_time_limit = 3600s

 check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023

 
 Here is an example of maillog error reports:

 postconf -n does not seem to help as the only difference is that it
 reports  the additional presence of the relevant lines.
