Hi, as stated on Title my problem is with:
Plesk 9.5.4
Centos 5 64 bit
qmail-scanner 2.08-5

I found this errors at maillog logs:
Jul 25 01:18:03 serverX spf filter[19753]: Error code: (26) DNS lookup failure
Jul 25 01:18:03 serverX spf filter[19753]: Failed to query MAIL-FROM: Temporary DNS failure for 'example.com'.

Only triggers with this type of spf filter error (DNS lookup failure), rest of mail it's ok.

Queue files at /var/qmail/bin ownership/perms are:
-r-xr-sr-x 1 mhandlers-user popuser 6653 Jul 26 08:33 qmail-queue
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root root 6653 Jul 22 19:57 qmail-queue.backup
-r-s--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 20872 Dec 8 2010 qmail-queue.moved
-rwsr-xr-x 1 qmailq qmail 74344 Dec 8 2010 qmail-queue.orig
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 74344 Jul 22 19:57 qmail-queue.orig.backup

Rpm installed are:
qmail-scanner-2.08-5.el5.art
psa-qmail-1.03-cos5.build95101209.08
psa-qmail-rblsmtpd-0.70-cos5.build95101209.08

At panel mail options activated are: SPF, domainkeys and rbmlstp.

I hope somebody found a solution to this before.

Thanks and best regards...

I forgot tell that without qmail-scanner there is no problem at all.

Could this be the same problem as in this thread?

I am examining the same problem and when I "dig" for the domain I get this error (digging TXT works, though):

~# dig SPF wilson-house.co.uk

; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4 <<>> SPF wilson-house.co.uk
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 32487


When I query our domain that doesn´t have a SPF entry (but a TXT entry for SPF), the status is NOERROR. So, it seems like a Plesk problem to me.
