The problem is This code: sender_domain = string.split(sender, '@', 1) if spf.domainmatch(reject_domain_list, sender_domain[1]):
If sender has no '@' character, sender_domain ends up as a single element list and trying to index it by [1] results in an IndexError exception. A robust solution to this (available for python >= 2.5) is: sender_domain = sender.partition ('@')[2] if spf.domainmatch(reject_domain_list, sender_domain): The parition method applied to the sender string is guaranteed to return a 3 element tuple of which the [2] indexing grabs the last element. I've hacked the policy-spf script on my incoming mail gateway as above and its been running for 20 plus hours without a hitch. -- policyd-spf crashing with IndexError https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455991 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
