| 12 | magnus | 1 | libspf2 for Debian |
| 2 | ================== |
||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | Debian's version of libspf2 does a couple of things slightly |
||
| 5 | differently compared to the upstream version (usually meaning: more |
||
| 6 | RFC-compliantly). You can always see all applied patches by |
||
| 7 | downloading the source package and looking in the debian/patches |
||
| 8 | subdirectory. All patches should also be mentioned in the Debian |
||
| 9 | changelog. Some deserve further comment, though: |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * 42_empty_sender.dpatch changes SPF_request_set_env_sender() so that |
||
| 12 | if called with an empty envelope sender, the envelope sender in the |
||
| 13 | SPF_request_struct structure will be set to the HELO identity |
||
| 14 | instead ("postmaster@" + the HELO domain), provided that |
||
| 15 | SPF_request_set_helo_dom() has been called beforehand. This should |
||
| 16 | improve behaviour of applications that (incorrectly) call |
||
| 17 | SPF_request_set_env_sender() with an empty envelope sender address. |
||
| 18 | However, applications SHOULD NOT RELY ON THIS, but should check if |
||
| 19 | the envelope sender address is empty, and in that case pass the HELO |
||
| 20 | identity instead, or use the result of an earlier HELO check. |
