Reject email on postfix when no SPF record found

Asked by MARCIN GARSTKA

Hi All,
I am new to policyd-spf package.
While trying to integrate it with my postfix installation (CentOS) I found that I am not able to reject any message where there is no SPF record set up, I receive always "None" status from spf assessment but message is always delivered to the user's mailbox.

What I found is this thread on the Internet and it looks it is by design.

Can you please guide me if this is correct or maybe you are considering to include this in the future.

All the best,
Marcin

That's correct. It's by design.

Use of SPF is completely optional and there are many perfectly legitimate domains that don't use it. Rejecting because a domain has no SPF record in an invitation to losing legitimate mail.

Today all world-class email providers (Google, Outlook) reject messages which come from domains with no SPF record.
This became a standard for every e-mail system.

In my opinion pypolicyd-spf should give this option as well.

It is not to make Google's and Microsoft;s live easier but mine too :)

All the best,
Marcin
