SPF checker in WHM
Hello,
I need some help regarding SPF checker. There is one of the domain called example.com which does not have a correct SPF record and my server rejecting all of his emails because of invalid SPF record. They are not going to change their SPF record and I need to receive their emails.
Somebody suggested me to disable SPF check for that particular domain then you would received that email.
However I am not sure how to do that. Please help me for this :-(
I am using WHM/Cpanel and exim configuration.

Hello, This is answered on the following thread: How to add a Exim SPF Check Exception Thanks! 0 -
So disabling this option will turn off the SPF checker and I need to keep exception only for a single domain however that domain uses many IP's for sending emails in SPF. Please suggest. You can look for the example.tld SPF. Thanks. 0 -

You can use the domain name instead of the IP address if you follow the instructions on the following comment at the feature request page: Exclude Backup MX hosts from SPF validation checks Once implemented, you simply add the host you want to whitelist to the "Backup MX hosts" access list under the "Access Lists" tab in "WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager >> Basic Editor". Thank you.0 -
So as per your suggestion, I have done below things and would be a help if you could suggest whether this is correct or not, 1. I have uncheck spf_bl (Reject SPF failures) 2.I have addded below lines in "custom_begin_mailauth" deny message = SPF: $sender_host_address is not allowed to send mail from $sender_address_domain !condition = ${if match_ip{$sender_host_address}{iplsearch;/etc/trustedmailhosts}{1}{0}} spf = fail 3. I have added the example.com IP in this file /etc/trustedmailhosts Please confirm if I left something. Thanks so much for your help 0 -
. I have added the example.com IP in this file /etc/trustedmailhosts
You should add the hostname instead of the IP address..I have addded below lines in "custom_begin_mailauth"
Could you elaborate on why you made changes from the example in the comments section of that feature request? Thank you.0 -
