Actually, I think the following series of commands are more helpful. First the normal UDP request (with a fall-back to TCP):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host -t txt aol.com ;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet. ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. aol.com descriptive text "spf2.0/pra ip4:152.163.225.0/24 ip4:205.188.139.0/24 ip4:205.188.144.0/24 ip4:205.188.156.0/23 ip4:205.188.159.0/24 ip4:64.12.136.0/23 ip4:64.12.138.0/24 ip4:64.12.143.99/32 ip4:64.12.143.100/32 ip4:64.12.143.101/32 ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" aol.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:152.163.225.0/24 ip4:205.188.139.0/24 ip4:205.188.144.0/24 ip4:205.188.156.0/23 ip4:205.188.159.0/24 ip4:64.12.136.0/23 ip4:64.12.138.0/24 ip4:64.12.143.99/32 ip4:64.12.143.100/32 ip4:64.12.143.101/32 ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" Then a direct TCP-only request, which works fine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host -T -t txt aol.com aol.com descriptive text "spf2.0/pra ip4:152.163.225.0/24 ip4:205.188.139.0/24 ip4:205.188.144.0/24 ip4:205.188.156.0/23 ip4:205.188.159.0/24 ip4:64.12.136.0/23 ip4:64.12.138.0/24 ip4:64.12.143.99/32 ip4:64.12.143.100/32 ip4:64.12.143.101/32 ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" aol.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:152.163.225.0/24 ip4:205.188.139.0/24 ip4:205.188.144.0/24 ip4:205.188.156.0/23 ip4:205.188.159.0/24 ip4:64.12.136.0/23 ip4:64.12.138.0/24 ip4:64.12.143.99/32 ip4:64.12.143.100/32 ip4:64.12.143.101/32 ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" Then on the same machine, asking spf.py to test an AOL address (using the client IP address and HELO name from the Postfix log files): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python /usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py 64.12.138.200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] imr-m06.mx.aol.com ('temperror', 451, 'SPF Temporary Error: DNS Ran off end of data') That's the same error I'm getting in the mail log. Then on the same machine, asking spf.py just to get the AOL SPF records: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python /usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py aol.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py", line 1621, in <module> print q.dns_spf(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py", line 1010, in dns_spf a = [t for t in self.dns_txt(domain) if RE_SPF.match(t)] File "/usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py", line 1045, in dns_txt return [''.join(a) for a in self.dns(domainname, 'TXT')] File "/usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py", line 1150, in dns for k, v in DNSLookup(name, qtype, self.strict): File "/usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py", line 105, in DNSLookup raise TempError, 'DNS ' + str(x) __main__.TempError: DNS Ran off end of data I get the same thing running policyd-spf directly: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ policyd-spf client_address=64.12.138.200 helo_name=imr-m06.mx.aol.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] action=defer_if_permit Received-SPF: Temperror (SPF Temporary Error: DNS Ran off end of data) Mail From client-ip=64.12.138.200; helo=imr-m06.mx.aol.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Do you get the same results?
