spftrace
The spftrace utility is a tool for executing, analysing, and displaying SPF queries. SPF is specified in RFC 7208.
This utility executes an SPF query with IP address and domain and shows the result graphically as an evaluation tree.
This utility uses the viaspf library to execute SPF queries. The viaspf library can trace a query as it executes and makes the trace available as structured data in its API. spftrace then analyses this data and displays it.
Thanks to the underlying execution engine being a real, RFC-conformant SPF implementation, spftrace handles all SPF policies correctly. Less well-known features of SPF such as macros, dual CIDR prefix lengths, exp modifiers, or the void lookup limit are all evaluated according to spec.
Installation
The spftrace utility is a Rust program. Install it with Cargo as usual:
cargo install --locked spftrace
The minimum supported Rust version is 1.56.1.
Usage
Pass a sender identity (an email address or a domain name) and an IP address to spftrace.
Use the unspecified IP address 0.0.0.0
or ::
to display the full evaluation
tree of some SPF-enabled domain.

For details, refer to the included man page spftrace(1). (You can view the man
page without installing by passing the file path to man
: man ./spftrace.1
)
Development
Unit tests are in separate module tests
. Specify a test name and pass the
--show-output
test binary option to run and visually check some test. For
example:
cargo test ptr -- --show-output
