SYNOPSIS

spfqtool [-b 0,1] [-d x] [-e 0,1] [-h host] [-i addr] [-s email] [-t 0,1] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the spfqtool command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

The spfqtool can be used to test SPF ("Sender Policy Framework") policies. It takes a sender and a recipient email, a source IP address and an SMTP HELO name. Using the SPF policy announced by the sender's email address domain, the tool shows whether an email with the two correspondents would be allowed to originate from the given IP address.
