NAME

spfquery.pyspf - pure-Python spfquery script

VERSION

2.0.9

DESCRIPTION

The spfquery script is a Python reimplementination of Wayne Schlitt's spfquery command line tool.

USAGE

The spfquery script is called with a number of possible options. Options can either use standard '-' prefix or be PERL style long options, '--'. Supported options are:

"--file" or "-file" {filename}: Read the query (or queries) from the designated file. If {filename} is '0', then query inputs are read from STDIN.

"--ip" or "-ip" {address}: Client IP address to use for SPF check.

"--sender" or "-sender" {Mail From address}: Envelope sender from which mail was received.

"--helo" or "-helo" {client hostname}: HELO/EHLO name used by SMTP client.

"--local" or "-local" {local policy SPF string}: Additional SPF mechanisms to be checked on the basis of local policy. Note that local policy matches are not strictly SPF results. Local policy processing is not defined in RFC 4408. Result may vary among SPF implementations.

"--rcpt-to" or "rcpt-to" {rcpt-to address - if available}: Receipt to address is not used for actual SPF processing, but if available it can be useful for logging, spf-received header construction, and providing useful rejection messages when messages are rejected due to SPF.

"--default-explanation" or "-default-explanation" {explanation string}: Default Fail explanation string to be used.

"--sanitize" or "-sanitize" and "--debug" or "-debug": These options are no-op in the Python implementation, but are valid inputs to provide compatibliity with input files developed to work with the original PERL and C spfquery implementations.

EXAMPLE

spfquery --sender scott@example.com --ip 192.0.2.0 [other options ...]
