Yes, I am using "=all" with all three of them. bofh settings: opt BOFHSPFHELO=all opt BOFHSPFMAILFROM=all opt BOFHSPFFROM=all From error log (lines manually wrapped): Jan 25 01:29:03 courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:65.19.161.222] Jan 25 01:29:11 courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:65.19.161.222, from=<supp@redwoodvirtual.com>: 517 SPF fail supp@redwoodvirtual.com: Maximum of 20 nested SPF queries exceeded.

Works for me -- I just tested (with opt BOFHSPFMAILFROM=all, this is the setting that controls checking of the MAIL FROM

Look for spurious whitespace, etc…

My courierfilters are running, and they are properly handling

courierfilters are not involved with SPF checking. All SPF stuff happens long before courierfilters get involved.

But what about these two cases, both of which refer to the case where all three variables are set to "all", and where there is a courierfilter that is controlled by /var/spool/courier/filters.

1. a message comes in for which SPF fails, and there are no maildrop whitelisting rules, and the message therefore gets sent to a courierfilter

2. a message comes in for which SPF fails, and there ARE matching maildrop whitelisting rules which then cause the courierfilter step to be bypassed (because it's controlled by /var/spool/courier/filters).

In case 1, it's clear that the message will be (or at least _should_ be) sent on to the courierfilter.

But what about case 2? The message won't be sent to the courierfilter, so is there then a possibility that the SPF fail will cause a 517 message to be returned to the sender, after all?

Thanks.
