Well, http://www.libsrs2.org/download.html states "testing" which gives hope it might actually work. I guess we just have to try it.
Yeah - the patch is for postfix 2.1.4 though, and I feel pretty certain I looked into using it at least 18 months ago. I don't think there's _any_ testing going on.
Anyway, why is this really a problem for opensuse.org addresses? "opensuse.org" does not have an SPF record/entry, so no provider should refuse reception of emails from @opensuse.org.
I think (assume) the problem is more on reception @opensuse.org: user@domain1.com sends a mail to user2@opensuse.org user2@opensuse.org is configured to forward a the mail to user2@domain2.com domain1.com is exporting SPF records, domain2.com is verifying on SPF records. thus: MX of domain2.com gets a mail from user@domain1.com, transmitted from the smtp server opensuse.org if domain1.com is strict (so no -All in the SPF), domain2.com will deny reception of that mail.

Yep, I think this is exactly what's going on. It's the classical SPF problem for a forwarding domain. Maybe the mailserver at opensuse.org needs SRS then. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Exactly. Hence the bug report.
