Subject: SPF process got in a loop last night
Date Posted: 16 September 2004 at 9:53am

Last night the spamfilterisp program appears to have gotten in a loop processing SPF records for a connection.  When I came in this morning I found that from 22:57pm to 6:30am or so the system was looping processing what appeared to be the same spf records.  My suspicion is that the email source has something wrong with their setup but I wonder if someone there can look at this and see what happenned.

Here is the start of the log going bad...from then on it just continues through the night the same...sorry about the line wrap...Terry

Terry,

Can you please let us know what build you're using? There was a similar problem with builds prior to  2.1.1.372, the released notes for the fixes are the following:

// New to VersionNumber = '2.1.1.375';
{TODO -cFix : Faster SPF queries when exceeding max include loops, better handling of default value}

// New to VersionNumber = '2.1.1.372';
{TODO -cFix : SPF - fixed issue with logfile becoming huge due to loops in SPF include directive}

We are on release 2.1.1.367.   Looks like we need to upgrade?

I see that the official release is still 2.1.1.367....and that the others are pre-release.  What release do you recommend we go to and what is the risk to us to go to a pre-release build?

Same thing happened to us, same address your getting as well. We are also on the same build since its the latest stable release. All this started last night, just thought I'd add the comment to let you know others are getting this as well.

Terry,

Pre-release builds have not been tested thoroughly. The latest pre-release build is 2.1.1.380, and most likely this weekend we'll be releasing officially build 384, which fixes a minor issue (the welcome banner not displaying the fully qualified server name) and adds better handling of errors while saving virus infected files.

I have installed the new release made available Saturday.  Everything seems good so far so and no more loops since upgrade.
