Hi,

The e-mail address you have contacted is related to Debian's web site,not mail services.

I have sent mail to <SOMEONE@debian.org> from my account<MYMAIL@redhat.com>
and it got rejected due to SPF. Despite it should not.

It was sent from 209.132.183.28 which is listed in SPFes for redhat.com
(listed below). So I think the SPF resolution by mailly.debian.org MXis
broken.

The SPF rejection was generated by the recipient's mail server, not anyof Debian's infrastructure; mailly simply relayed it back to you.

This is a known issue with the combination of SPF and mail forwarding -the recipient's mail server would have received a mail claiming to befrom you that originated from Debian's mail server, as it forwarded themail. This is likely resolvable by the recipient configuring theirchecks to either ignore the Debian forwarding hop (which should bedoable in most setups I believe) or not performing SPF checks on mailforwarded to them.

Adam
