spfquery --help

The --mail-from form checks if the given ip-address is an authorized SMTP sender for the given envelope sender domain or email-address and "HELO" hostname (so-called "MAIL FROM" check). If a domain is given, "postmaster" will be substituted for the localpart.

The --helo form checks if the given ip-address is an authorized SMTP sender for the given "HELO" hostname (so-called "HELO" check).

The --file form reads "ip-address sender-address helo-hostname" tuples from the file with the specified filename, or from standard input if filename is -.

The --version form prints version information of spfquery. The --help form prints usage information for spfquery.

--debug

Print out debug information.

--default-explanation string

Use the specified string as the default explanation if the SPF record does not specify an explanation string itself.

--guess spf-terms

Use spf-terms as a default record if no SPF record is found. This is a non-standard feature.

--keep-comments

--no-keep-comments

Do (not) print any comments found when reading from a file or from standard input.

--local spf-terms

Process spf-terms as local policy before resorting to a default result (the implicit or explicit "all" mechanism at the end of the domain's SPF record). For example, this could be used for white-listing one's secondary MXes: "mx:mydomain.example.org".

--max-lookup-count n

Perform a maximum of n SPF record lookups. Defaults to 10.

--name hostname

Use hostname as the hostname of the local system instead of auto-detecting it.

--override domain=spf-record

--fallback domain=spf-record

Set overrides and fallbacks. Each option can be specified multiple times. For example: "--override example.org='v=spf1 -all' --override '*.example.net'='v=spf1 a mx -all' --fallback example.com='v=spf1 -all'". This is a non-standard feature.

--rcpt-to email-addresses

Automatically allow the secondary MXes of the comma-separated list of email-addresses.

--sanitize

--no-sanitize

Do (not) sanitize the output by condensing consecutive white-space into a single space and replacing non-printable characters with question marks. Enabled by default.

--trusted

--no-trusted

Do (not) perform "trusted-forwarder.org" accreditation checking. Disabled by default. This is a non-standard feature.
