Mail from: xxxx.xxx@Coalfire.com To: xxx@portofportland.com will be rejected As you can see one user had the sender whitelisted so they recieved the email but another did not so it was quarantined. (I munged the names to hide the email addresses...). Is there anyway to increase the spf loop count?

The MaxSPFAllowedLoops value in SpamFilter is hardcoded to "10" and is one of the few parameters that cannot be modified via .ini settings. We had never seen this threshold (which is used to prevent denial of service attacks to SpamFilter via sender's domain names with malicious SPF records in their DNS) cause any issues before.
In this case it however blocking a legitimate email for a domain that has many more nested include SPF statements in their DNS. We'll be completing a patch within the next 24/48 hours to address this by increasing this threshold and making it customizable. It will take a couple of days of internal testing before releasing to the public. If you would like to receive it sooner before we complete the internal QA tests please let us know via email at support @ logsat.com - we'll provided it to you asap. |

A new pre-release of SpamFilter (v4.5.1.99) is available in the registered user area. The changes since the latest official release (4.5.1.98) are as follows:
// New to VersionNumber = '4.5.1.99'; {TODO -cNew : Added parameter MaxSPFAllowedLoops in SpamFilter.ini file. This parameter used to be hardcoded to "10" in SpamFilter and it is not customizable. It is used to limit the number of nested include directives allowed in an SPF query. Used to limit the risk of DoS attacks using malicious SPF DNS records} |
