I've installed postfix-policyd-spf-python and configured the postfix integration according to the docs.
This is my policyd-spf.conf config file:
debugLevel = 1
TestOnly = 0
HELO_reject = SPF_Not_Pass
Mail_From_reject = Fail
PermError_reject = False
TempError_Defer = False
skip_addresses = 127.0.0.0/8,::ffff:127.0.0.0/104,::1
Incoming emails from foreign mail servers get checked and flagged correctly. But when I check for spoof protection, somehow the emails go through:
$ telnet mail.example.com 25
Connected to mail.example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.example.com ESMTP Postfix
helo asd.somedomain.com
250 mail.example.com
mail from: [email protected]
250 2.1.0 Ok

250 2.1.5 Ok

thanks!

In my view, this email should NOT be delivered.
Here's the debugging output from postfix-policyd-spf-python:

As we can see from the log files, the SPF check does return:
spfcheck: pyspf result: "['Fail', 'SPF fail - not authorized', 'mailfrom']"
however, the last line reads:
Action: None: Text: None Reject action: 550 5.7.23
Why is that? Why is the Action: None? In my view, the email should be rejected and not accepted by the server. What am I doing wrong?
setting
fixes the problem!
TestOnly = 1 setting doesnt stop mails that failed SPF check b/c its for testing purposes. For production mail server disable that option.
Your problem is probably b/c you are telnet-ing and checking from that same host which is allowed b/c of next option: skip_addresses = 127.0.0.0/8,::ffff:127.0.0.0/104,::1
