I tried libspf and found out that it has a bad code quality. It contains code like | if (rr_data == NULL) | { | rr_data = xmalloc(substr_len + 2); | } | else | { | rr_data = xrealloc(rr_data, (i + substr_len + 2)); | } | strncat(rr_data, (char *)rd_ptr, substr_len); at several places and that is really nothing which should touch my or somebody else's mails. There were memleaks also, but I can not remember the details and can not find the libspf forum anymore where I posted my bugreports. So I will not fix that, unless: * somebody else packages libspf and proofs that he fixed all issues * somebody else packages an alternative spf implementation This seems to be a good reason to not to use SPF. Thank you for pointing out. The second reason is that a lot of spam went through milter here because spamming relays are using MailFrom from random domains with globally enabled SPF records. So the spams are going through milter-graylist with no problem... |
