Hi,

Security gateway 9.5.1 SPF fails an ipaddress that should be allowed I think.

kundcenter@gotamedia.se sends from ip 80.76.153.145 and according to their SPF records it should be allowed but

SG fails it.

See below:

I have tested this with the site: https://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

With this result:

Mail sent from this IP address: 80.76.153.145
Mail from (Sender): kundcenter@gotamedia.se
Mail checked using this SPF policy: v=spf1 include:spf0.gotamedia.se include:spf1.gotamedia.se include:spf2.gotamedia.se -all
Results - PASS sender SPF authorized

I have also checked that the DNS server used can lookup all SPF records.

Kind Regards

Johan

I believe its because of how the TXT record for spf1.gotamedia.se is created. When I do a lookup for the record using NSLookup, it looks like this:

text =

"v=spf1"
" ip4:172.29.1.201"
" ip4:81.201.212.53"
" ip4:80.76.150.36/31"
" ip4:64.93.79.192/26"
" ip4:54.246.186.165/32"
" ip4:54.214.28.131"
" ip4:208.97.136.67"
" ip4:52.26.5.50"
" ip4:44.232.3.192"
" ip4:23.21.109.197"
" ip4:23.21.109.212"
" ip4:147.160.167.0/26"
" ip4:87.237.214.176"
" ip4:81.201.216.52"
" ip4:82.96.59.34"
" ip4:80.76.150.36"
" ip4:80.76.150.37"
" ip4:80.76.154.194"
" ip4:80.76.153.145"
" ip4:176.9.183.128/27"
" -all"

While not common, it is not invalid, but SG is expecting the first line to contain at least "v=spf1 ". Notice the space at the end. I'll submit a bug on it for the developers to review.

@Johan this will be fixed in the next release.

[27436] fix to Multi-line SPF record fails lookup when first character in second line after v=spf1 contains a space
