Looking through the upstream bug reports at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Mail-SPF-Query is seems that Mail::SPF::Query is decprecated (cf. eg. https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=47124) and should be replaced by Mail::SPF (packaged in Debian as libmail-spf-perl and spf-tools-perl). (Note that I haven't checked thouroughly the IPv6 support of libmail-spf-perl but a quick grep over the source package looks promising.) libmail-spf-query-perl looks like a removal candidate ... Let's check the dependencies: #v+ $ dak rm -Rn libmail-spf-query-perl Working... done. Will remove the following packages from unstable: libmail-spf-query-perl | 1:1.999.1-3 | source, all Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: qpsmtpd: qpsmtpd Dependency problem found. #v- Hm, not so good. #v+ $ apt-cache --no-all-versions show qpsmtpd Package: qpsmtpd Priority: extra Section: mail Installed-Size: 1032 Maintainer: Devin Carraway <de...@debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 0.84-4 Depends: debconf (>= 1.0.0), perl, adduser (>= 3.0), libdigest-hmac-perl, libmail-spf-query-perl, libnet-dns-perl, libnet-perl, libmailtools-perl, libipc-shareable-perl, libclamav-client-perl, libsocket6-perl Suggests: spamassassin (>= 3.0.0), clamav-daemon, tinycdb Filename: pool/main/q/qpsmtpd/qpsmtpd_0.84-4_all.deb Size: 210630 MD5sum: 8e234aa546048c9e9c347034146c8243 SHA1: e66c9fe2173a8e0d9d2e8fe612f8913998f1e2e5 SHA256: 514645182a84c31b78256d425aecaf946467c8d975bc7dae7461990e20b30d63 Description: Flexible SMTP daemon for network-level spam detection This is a replacement SMTP damon which installs alongside a mail delivery and transport system such as Exim, Postfix or Qmail, or used as an SMTP proxy for a remote/DMZ MTA. . The qpsmtpd damon emphasizes spam detection during the SMTP transaction, attempting to reach spam/nonspam decisions prior to accepting each message, thereby eliminating much bounce/forgery blowback. It exploits its visbility into the network transaction to detect certain behaviors often exhibited by spam sending agents. . Qpsmtpd is written in Perl, with an extensive plugin API making it easy to add new features or replace functional components. Homepage: http://smtpd.develooper.com/ Tag: interface::daemon, mail::filters, protocol::smtp, role::program, works-with::mail #v- Cc'ing Devin to see if qpsmtpd could switch to libmail-spf-perl ...
