Funny you should mention SpamAssassin's SPF Checks... I was thinking the same thing, but I have been having problems with my SpamAssassin doing SPF checks. It seems that if I have SA configured to do SPF checks, EVERY SINGLE piece of mail always gets SPF_HELO_PASS from SA, no matter what the real results of the SPF test really are. I have seen forged mail come in with my Postfix SPF checker identifying it as bogus mail, but then SA still shows SPF_HELO_PASS. Postfix is now configured to automatically reject the bogus ones before SA even gets it. But I'm confused about my SA configuration and why it's not catching it. Anyhow, I digress. I know this is the TMDA list, not the SA list, but if anyone wants to drop hints to me with a direct reply rather than polluting the list, I'll be happy to hear them.

Given that you have defined a SP for your domain, SpamAssassin should already be taking care of this. Have you enabled SpamAssassin's SPF checks? If you are not using SA, I believe I have seen a SPF script for TMDA somewhere in the wiki or you could look for a stand-alone SPF checker. Best regards, Arik Julie S.
