Good find, I am still running my ${quote:}-less version at the moment so I was able to test the scenarios in that bug report.
All three of the following senders were correctly rejected as spf fail by my server (example.com hard fails all senders in its spf record): MAIL FROM: "$PWD"@example.com MAIL FROM: "x --help "@example.com MAIL FROM: le...@example.com RCPT TO: <snip> 550-[SPF] <snip> is not allowed to send mail 550 from example.com. So whatever the reason it was allowing an spf fail to pass back then, it no longer appears to be the case now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056372 Title: Enabling SPF checks with CHECK_RCPT_SPF doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/2056372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
