@shawniverson has essentially stepped away from the project.
Unless someone steps up to take over development, I doubt there will be many new features added before RHEL goes EOL.

Re: howto check SPF working
You'll need to provide more information.
What exactly is not working and how do you know?
Since you've provided essentially no information, all I can suggest is to start here: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx and check your spf record for your domain to see if there are any problems there.

Re: ef3 to ef5
keep your old vm running, install and configure and test a new, clean installation and when it is working, switch over to the new box.

Re: ef3 to ef5
For the amount of work involved, you're probably better off installing a brand new clean efa5 installation.
What is so important that you want to preserve from your efa3 installation?

Always go with the latest version.
When I mention the major version and not the minor version, it means the latest minor version which is 9.4 at the time of this post.

Do you have the full error message? Without the full error message, we cannot know. The full error message will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Which mail server is returning this error?
Did you try doing a search engine search for that error? (try "smtp error 5.7.1 code 554").

Re: Moved v4 filter quarantine not displayed in v5 web
Did you restore the v4 backup as mentioned in the section "v5 Commission" step?
It sounds like that the v4 database was not restored to your new system, hence the reason why you do not see the older messages.

> eFa 5 should work on any Red Hat Linux 9 compatible distribution. You don't have to use CentOS 9 Stream. You could opt for Rocky, AlmaLinux, Oracle, or even Red Hat.
I would pick one of the above. I am going with AlmaLinux 9 to replace my eFa4/Centos 7 box.

yes, postfix doesn't know how to verify the user.
if you want to use user verification, you have to configure postfix so postfix can know which users are valid.

Re: Searching for Test Mail Relay
Marking emails to internal users with a unique header is easily done using postfix header_checks.
As for forwarding mail from external users to different location, I don't know how to do that off the top of my head, but I suspect that could be handled with postfix as well.

Re: Implement noindex tag - mailwatch login page
As a security suggestion, you shouldn't be exposing your efa box to the internet.
It is more secure to keep it accessible via a vpn.
As for your suggested changes, that should be fine but remember your changes could get overwritten after an update of efa.
