Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I got notified that another organization was unable to mail us. This didn't
happen
all the time, but every few e-mail. The error logged by sendmail was 'Void
lookup limit exceeded'.
I then had a loop running, doing spfquery for that domain every 5 seconds. When
the next
fail in the mail-log came, the spfquery test succeeded.
I then noted that running spfquery for that domain, with an IPv6 address always
returns
"void lookup limit of 2 exceeded"
spfquery --sender=some.u...@mdh.se --ip=2001:708:170:33::200
permerror
SPF Permanent Error: Void lookup limit of 2 exceeded
spfquery: permanent error in processing domain of mdh.se: Void lookup limit of
2 exceeded
Received-SPF: PermError (spfquery: permanent error in processing domain of
mdh.se: Void lookup limit of 2 exceeded) client-ip=2001:708:170:33::200;
envelope-from="some.u...@mdh.se"; receiver=spfquery; identity=mailfrom
# apt-show-versions spfquery libspf2-2
libspf2-2:amd64/stretch 1.2.10-7+b2 uptodate
spfquery:amd64/stretch 1.2.10-7+b2 uptodate
Running the same on an Ubuntu 17.10 always succeeds;
$ spfquery --sender=some.u...@mdh.se --ip=2a01:0111:f400:fe1e::0712
pass
spfquery: domain of mdh.se designates 2a01:111:f400:fe1e::712 as permitted
sender
Received-SPF: pass (spfquery: domain of mdh.se designates
2a01:111:f400:fe1e::712 as permitted sender) client-ip=2a01:111:f400:fe1e::712;
envelope-from=some.u...@mdh.se;
$ apt-show-versions spfquery libspf2-2
libspf2-2:amd64/artful 1.2.10-7build2 uptodate
libspf2-2:i386 not installed
spfquery:amd64/artful 1.2.10-7build2 uptodate
spfquery:i386 not installed
This leads me to believe there's a bug in debian's implementation.
