I'd been told quite awhile back that the spf soft failure isn't a problem by Centurylink Be that as it may I went into chat with Centurylink tech support this afternoon. I had all the information that I could think of to share with them. After over an hour of trying to explain what the problem is I got absolutely no where. In fact the 2nd person I went into chat with just up and terminated the chat on me in the middle of it. I was on the verge of changing my postfix setup to use my gmail account when I decided to try one last thing and that was to change the port from 25 to 587. After updating postfix files and reloading postfix I changed the time on the spamassassin update cronjob and let it run. Amazingly the message I expected was sent and received. I can only conclude that making the change from port 25 to 587 made the difference. I'll know for sure tomorrow when the SA-Update cronjob runs at the regular time.
since port 587 requires authentication, different spam checks are often applied there.
One last item, this isn't a mail server but just my home Ubuntu system.
so you should use authentication when sending mail from it. So do I.
I've had postfix setup for many years from way back in my Mandrake days in order to easily send output of cronjobs to myself. It's probably overkill but it works fine for me and runs without any problems (except this last one).
time changes, so do requirements. Good that you solved it. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
