spf check about getmail6 HOT 4 CLOSED

I might be missing the point here, but: You have plenty of options what getmail should do with your messages. I don't have the incoming mail processed by postfix, for example, but filtered by dovecot with Sieve rules and deposited into the appropriate Maildir folders.

I do this with the following config entries:

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda

Check out getmail's documentation here: https://getmail6.org/configuration.html#conf-destination

It's not about filtering - for that I use sieve as well.

What I'd like to achieve is to do a proper spf check and add a spf header accordingly so it could be used by other tools further down the line to e. g. increase spam detection (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework). This is usually done by the receiving MTA as envelope from, helo name, sender IP etc. are needed for this check to be performed. As I don't operate my MTA to receive mails directly but rather inject them by getmail I can't implement this kind of check in my MTA.

You could possibly use https://github.com/sdgathman/pyspf/ after getmail.

That's a good idea. Would need a wrapper though to create the correct header and inject it back into the mail. Did some more testing - quite challenging to implement all the checks in my getmail + postfix + dovecot tool chain. Need to evaluate that further - it might be easier to change the tool chain at all.
