Re: spf not working
In that case, unless you changed some setting that broke SA (SpamAssassin)'s ability to do SPF checks, it appears that incoming emails are meeting the SPF requirements.
Note that if you enabled SPF checks in Postfix so that non-compliant emails are rejected, those emails will never reach SA. This ...

Re: spf not working
In the EFA portal, go to the "Tools And Links" section and click on "Update SpamAssassin Rule Descriptions"
Then search the results and see if you have the following rules...
SPF_FAIL SPF: sender does not match SPF record (fail)
SPF_HELO_FAIL SPF: HELO does not match SPF record (fail)
SPF_HELO ...

Re: spf not working
Hi JOP,
Where are you trying to make SPF work?
Postfix?
Sendmail?
SpamAssassin?
Somewhere else?
Before anyone can help you, you will need to help yourself a little

eFa-Tokens cron returning deprecation warning
Hi,
Every day I am receiving a warning via email from the EFA Anacron after the daily cron is run.
I understand it's not an error. Nor is it critical. I just want it to stop nagging me.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Re: RSA based ciphers not working in Postfix smtpd
According to Cerbot...
The type of key used by Certbot can be controlled through the --key-type option. You can use the --elliptic-curve option to control the curve used in ECDSA certificates and the --rsa-key-size option to control the size of RSA keys.

RSA based ciphers not working in Postfix smtpd
Ever since installing and migrating to EFA 5, a handful of sending servers were unable to establish a TLS connection due to an inability to match ciphers.
Apparently the LetsEncrypt SSL certificate that was issued with the EFA scripts had a key type of ECDSA and not RSA.

Re: SFTP broken after running EFA 5.0.0 install script
After much head scratching and trial and error my frustration pushed me to try creating an alternate user with root privileges and trying that account instead. It works.
So, now the issue is more specific.
SFTP is broken for the root user only.
Any ideas?

The next few posts constitute a screen dump of what took place during the execution of the install script.
Before the script was run, sftp was working.
After the script, sftp is broken.

SFTP broken after running EFA 5.0.0 install script
Good day.
SFTP access to the CentOS 9 server is broken after running the install script for EFA 5.0.0
I have not looked into every line of code in the script to see why yet because I thought perhaps somebody here would know.
Anybody?

I believe that the next version of EFA (4.1?) must include multi-factor authentication. The tech for it is freely available in the open source community. I'd be happy to assist.
