SpamAssassin (http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamAssassin) 3.0 supports SPF to detect and penalize header forgery. This requires Mail::SPF::Query, a relatively new package that's not yet installed on most machines. You can confirm whether you have it by entering (perl -e 'require Mail::SPF::Query'). If you get the error "Can't locate Mail/SPF/Query.pm in @INC..." you need it.

To install SPF, do the following:

You will need these perl modules installed

Warning: prerequisite Net::CIDR::Lite 0.15 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Net::DNS 0.46 not found. We have 0.45.
Warning: prerequisite Sys::Hostname::Long 1 not found.


Grab them from CPAN


# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Net::CIDR::Lite
cpan> install Net::DNS



cd /usr/local/src
wget http://spf.pobox.com/Mail-SPF-Query-1.997.tar.gz
tar xvzf Mail-SPF-Query-1.997.tar.gz
cd Mail-SPF-Query-1.997
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install


That's it

When I logged into CPAN it told me to upgrade CPAN so I did what it told me.

Problem is now I get the following when trying to install NET::DNS
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 tests and 17 subtests skipped.

/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Failed during this command:

Any ideas?

I had the same problem, I just said no to the tests when it prompts you in the beginning of the installation. So far so good.
