Installed Packages Name : pypolicyd-spf Arch : noarch Version : 1.3.2 Release : 1.el6 Size : 106 k Repo : installed >From repo : epel Summary : SPF Policy Server for Postfix (Python implementation) URL : https://launchpad.net/pypolicyd-spf License : ASL 2.0 We currently run a DNS service on that host. It is operating correctly as far as I can see. In the meantime I have had to disable SPF checking entirely as it was preventing the delivery of any mail whatsoever. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
