Postfix policy daemon woes (perl)

Seen after Debian package upgrade perl-modules 5.8.8-7 -> 5.8.8-8:

Sep 17 08:25:26 HHH postfix/spawn[27585]: warning: command
/usr/bin/perl exit status 2
Sep 17 08:25:26 HHH postfix/smtpd[25653]: warning: premature
end-of-input on private/policy-spf while reading input attribute name
Sep 17 08:25:27 HHH postfix/smtpd[25653]: warning: problem talking to
server private/policy-spf: Connection reset by peer
Sep 17 08:25:27 HHH postfix/smtpd[25653]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
REDACTED: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem; from=<REDACTED>
to=<REDACTED> proto=SMTP helo=<REDACTED>

Any suggestions other than to revert the perl-modules package?

(Or do the use the Python policy daemon instead.)

I'm not sure what to tell you. Ubuntu is still based on -7, so I'm not really
in a position to troubleshoot this. Looking at the debian/changelog the only
thing that looks suspicious is the bump to GCC 4.2 (i.e. something is broken
in Perl), although it looks like the Ubuntu -7 is built against GCC 4.2.

The Python policy server is more feature complete at this point and so might
be worth a try. The current release allows you to call it more than once
with different config files to do separate HELO/Mail From checks with a
header prepended for each. The next update I'm working on will support
returning a bare SPF result that should support without any source hacking
your restriction class processing.

Any TDA? This is what is keeping me from really using it.

Since you asked:

http://www.openspf.org/svn/software/postfix-policyd-spf-python/trunk/

should have what you need. Documentation is up to date with the
implementation. Warning, this is absolutely untested beyond "it doesn't
immediately crash". Feedback to spf-devel please.

I believe that this pretty much works now. I'd appreciate it if you would
pull from svn trunk and see if that does what you need. I'm getting close to
doing a release now.

I just did a download of the svn. I hope to test it more tomorrow. It
maybe a couple days before I get it done. I have a job to get done.

Any feedback? I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on 0.5.

I'll wait a couple of days and release unless I hear back from you (or anyone
else).

So far no problems. I think you should release it.

Perfect timing. I was just about to roll the tarball for the release. I'll
include this.
