Description of problem: the spfquery : /usr/share/doc/perl-Mail-SPF/bin/spfquery has 744, which makes this script only usefull for ROOT, but not for the Mailserveruser i.e. exim ( 93 ), which is THE SERVICE TO execute it for SPFchecks in the first place. FIX: chmod 755 /usr/share/doc/perl-Mail-SPF/bin/spfquery Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.9.0-27
Actually, that file has 644, not 744: # ls -la /usr/share/doc/perl-Mail-SPF/bin/spfquery -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 22991 Jul 21 2013 /usr/share/doc/perl-Mail-SPF/bin/spfquery # rpm -qf /usr/share/doc/perl-Mail-SPF/bin/spfquery perl-Mail-SPF-2.9.0-27.fc36.noarch It is not meants to be executed, it's in a documentation directory. Since bug 1399246, perl-Mail-SPF package ships spfquery alternative, enabled by default if you don't have other package providing the same tool. In other words, please just call /usr/bin/spfquery (it's also in the default $PATH), not a documentation snippet.
