Can't locate Mail/SPF/Query.pm in @INC

[HappymanUK]

I have just been looking at /var/log/maillog and keep noticing the following error:

Does anyone know what is likely to be causing this problem ?

Is The Mail::SPF::Query Perl Module installed

Make sure you've installed the Mail::SPF::Query. As root,
run cpan
> cpan
and make sure the module is installed
> install Mail::SPF::Query
if it's not installed, it should try and install it, otherwise it will tell you it's up to date.

 

[BianchiDude]

Do you have your mail server check for SPF? How did you set that up?

Do you have your mail server check for SPF? How did you set that up?

I haven't set it up - It should just be the default cpanel installation ??

Thanks

Any idea how this would have been installed, as I haven't manually installed this feature ?

Thanks - I have tried that, and it did install a few different components.

The following errors are now showing in /var/log/maillog is the following:

I have very similar erors and I am fighting to get a solution.

First of all, why spamd is launched as root ?

Sep 21 22:32:09 server spamd[11842]: spamd: still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root, falling back to nobody at /usr/bin/spamd line 1150, <GEN278> line 4.

Where can I configure the user which will be running spamd ?

Thanks.

Still having the same problem here, but unfortunately no nearer to resolving it

Anyone have anymore ideas ?

Thanks

hey

did you find the solution ??

I now have the same problem on my server

Latest SpamAssassin (v3.10) query the SPF information by default. But some servers that may not have properly SPF installed. To fix this run

perl /scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SPF::Query

This error could be ignore. cpsrvd check spamd periodically to ensure it is up. cpsrvd run by root and cause this problem.

Hi

thanks for help

I have installed that perl module via the WHM , and also via cpan... but still get the error inthe logs.

I have tried your method and will see if it works, so far no errors, so looks like it might have worked.

Is there a way to turn SPF off ? is it worth while having it on ?

Thanks again
Andy

No, didn't find a solution, but I have just tried the solution mentioned today, and so far it seems OK - I will see how it goes.

Thanks

OK Thanks, but is there anyway to stop these errors, as they never used to be displayed ??

errors... but their ok? alternatives to spamd?

as far as i can tell, the clamv/spamd is nothing but a big error.

lets see, not supposed to run as root, yet by defualt, runs as root? yo, wtf? are we looking at a faulty install script? As far as i can tell, spamd is losing my emails.

personally, my dislike/distrust for both clamav and spamd started with the discovery of the SORBS list. the whole picture looks dirty now.

what are alternatives to spamassasin that wont require a huge time investment to install/wont be erased by updates? i'd really rather not support SORBS/ISUX or anything related to these developers/projects.

I understand that free is free, so the price is right.

after writing this bitch, i had an idea which may resolve the issue(s) i'm experiencing. if it works, i'll post it.

mean time, what are the alternatives? the basic dislike of the developers tactics wont allow me to use the product with a clear conscience. (after all, they aint M$)


thanks in advance; j

digging deeper...

apparently, spamd thinks its not installed... it is in WHM, checked, looks good. update scripts fail, says not installed. this is an install/upgrade issue caused by spamd itself. how to get the script to actaully install? also, why is it running as root?
