I have a question. My Maia box that I’m running
receives mail from our actual MX (a server running qmail.) Our external server
performs SPF Checks, and denies any fails. However, SpamAssassin is adding
points whenever a domain has an SPF record because it is checking our SMTP
Server (The server directly relaying mail to Maia) as opposed to the remote
server actually contacting our campus. Is there any setting or step I can take
to make Maia aware of our MX server so that it checks the actual sender against
SPF as opposed to our MX. I know I can turn the SA SPF rules off, but I would
like to keep it on so that some points are added for “Softfails̶1; (our
external MX only rejects “fails”.)



 




Thanks in advance!

I think what you need to do is add your SMTP Server to the
trusted_networks setting in SpamAssassin's local.cf file.
