OK in further testing I see that the /usr/local/lib/policyd-spf-perl is not responding with anything. I can from other servers get it to respond with a pass/fail/neutral etc. I reinstalled policyd-spf-perl from RPM, but no luck, when I test buy hand using this method: request=smtpd_access_policy protocol_state=RCPT protocol_name=SMTP helo_name=h****forge.com queue_id=8045F2AB23 sender=info@h****forge.com recipient=falko.timme@*******.de client_address=81.169.1**.** client_name=h****.server*********.net [empty line] I never get a response from this particular server. I'm not seeing more in the log file for this, so I don't know how to track down the problem.... Any Ideas? Thanks!!!
