spf not working

Tried a couple of days, but do not get any further...

As SPF worked fine in efa 4 , but I do not get it work at v5.0.
Anything seems to be configured correctly, but I do not have any entries in Spam Report except "SPF_HELO_PASS".
Tested with mails and invalid SPF, but nothing noticed or done.

Any idea what to check - maybe a litte HowTo?

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 :)

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_NEUTRAL SPF: HELO does not match SPF record (neutral)
SPF_HELO_NONE SPF: HELO does not publish an SPF Record
SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record
SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL SPF: HELO does not match SPF record (softfail)
SPF_NEUTRAL SPF: sender does not match SPF record (neutral)
SPF_NONE SPF: sender does not publish an SPF Record
SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record
SPF_SOFTFAIL SPF: sender does not match SPF record (softfail)

the only entry in mail header of each mail is:

0.00 SPF_HELO_NONE SPF: HELO does not publish an SPF Record
