SPF perl error solved

I had this SPF error:

tail -f /var/log/mail.log

Code:

postfix/smtpd[21258]:warning: command /usr/sbin/postfix-policyd-spf-perl exit status 13
postfix/smtpd[21238]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/policy-spf while reading input attribute name

the perl script inside /etc/postfix/master.cf doesn't work. Only the Python script:

Code:

policy-spf  unix  -       n       n       -       -       spawn
     user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/policyd-spf

so need to install with apt-get install postfix-policyd-spf-python

** edit: the cause was inside /etc/resolv.conf. Please, go to message #3 of this thread

hope it can be useful,

 

yes, you are right.

At first I thought it was solved with the python alternative but the problem with the SPF error reappeared.

Finally, the cause of the SPF error "warning: premature end-of-input on private/policy-spf while reading input attribute name" was the absence of "nameserver 127.0.0.1" inside /etc/resolv.conf , and also I have included this syntax inside /etc/postfix/master.cf:

Code:

policy-spf  unix  -  n  n  -  -  spawn
user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/policyd-spf argv=/etc/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf

However, I'm checking now with perl and it works too. So the real cause was in the /etc/resolv.conf. Probably the lack of local resolution causes the error.

I had a little nightmare of several hours with this error. Internet is plenty of questions about that error without a clear answer. Now Postfix is working without any issue.

I edit my first message, sorry for that!

 

ok, thanks. Although I have followed your recommendation, and now I have the perl script
