----------------------------------------------------------------------

Libraries have been installed in:

/usr/local/lib


If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and

specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'

flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable

during execution

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable

during linking

- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'


See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

I appended the following line:

FEATURE(spf)dnl



If you want to reject all email that receives SPF_FAIL you would do:


FEATURE(spf, 2)dnl
FEATURE(`delay_checks')dnl



If you are not rejecting, you do not need the 'delay_checks' line.

DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING (even tho the HOWTO included says you can, its wrong, because its broken):


FEATURE(spf, `SPFAction', `SPFHeaderState', `SPFBestGuessState', `SPFTrustedForwarderState', `SPFExplainState', `SPFBestGuess', `SPFTrustedForwarder', `SPFExplain')dnl



Although the idea is GREAT it doesn't work, so don't do it until Teddy has a chance
(or someone else who can understand m4) to fix it, just apply the single feature.


For the record I tried a few variations for example by putting each FEATURE on
its own line with actual arguments and I almost had it working properly,
but not quite, so this is why I say don't do it. Try if you are feel dangerous, and submit any positive results.

!SNIP!

This next portion, the line numbers are only relevant if you have patched a fresh

Sendmail 8.13.1 install with only the libSPF patch, otherwise your line numbers

may very well be substantially different.


james@code3 $ vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Looking at line 519 I can see the newly added SPF directives:


# SPFAction
O SPFAction=1

# SPFHeaderState
O SPFHeaderState=True

# SPFBestGuessState
O SPFBestGuessState=0

# SPFTrustedForwarderState
O SPFTrustedForwarderState=0

# SPFExplainState
O SPFExplainState=True

# SPFBestGuess
O SPFBestGuess=v=spf1 a/24 mx/24 ptr

# SPFTrustedForwarder
O SPFTrustedForwarder=v=spf1 include:spf.trusted-forwarder.org

# SPFExplain
O SPFExplain=See
http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=%{S}&...&receiver=%{xR}



This is what you see if you DON'T listen to my advice as listed up above:

# SPFAction
O SPFAction=SPFAction

# SPFHeaderState
O SPFHeaderState=SPFHeaderState

# SPFBestGuessState
O SPFBestGuessState=SPFBestGuessState

# SPFTrustedForwarderState
O SPFTrustedForwarderState=SPFTrustedForwarderState

# SPFExplainState
O SPFExplainState=SPFExplainState

# SPFBestGuess
O SPFBestGuess=SPFBestGuess

# SPFTrustedForwarder
O SPFTrustedForwarder=SPFTrustedForwarder

# SPFExplain
O SPFExplain=SPFExplain



Down at line 593 you see the new header:

H?P?Return-Path: <$g>
HReceived-SPF: ${spfheader}
HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.$?_($?s$|from $.$_)
$.$?{auth_type}(authenticated$?{auth_ssf} bits=${auth_ssf}$.)
