    The issue caused by the Spam Assassin's bug #6490, which occurs only version Spamassassin 3.3.1. The bug is fixed in version 3.3.2 and upper. But It is not possible to install the newest version of Spam Assassin because the version 3.3.1 is the latest version which providing from official CentOS 6 repository.

    Resolution

    Please consider updating your server to Centos 7 which provide the latest version of Spam Assassin.

    Additionally, it is possible to use the following workaround - switch off SPF filter using steps from this website

    This works for me

    cd /usr/src
    tar -xvf Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.2.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src/
    cp /usr/src/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.2/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/SPF.pm /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin
    service spamassassin restart

    Hi Dario,

    Thank you for sharing this. However it might be dangerous to replace part of the SpamAssasing with file from different version, we don't recommend this solution.
