+### Configuring Postfix
 The [Postfix SMTP server](http://www.postfix.org/smtpd.8.html) seems to be processing e-mails in a sequential order by means of so-called [access restriction lists](http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#lists). For each stage of the SMTP conversation Postfix can apply a specific set of restrictions. As repeatedly stated in the [main.cf man page](http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html) “Restrictions are applied in the order as specified; the first restriction that matches wins”. This should be taken into consideration when configuring your Postfix implementation.

+### Configuring Python SPF policy agent
 The next step is to tell the Python SPF policy agent how to behave when checking SPF records. This behavior is determined by adding [configuration parameters](https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf.5.en.html) to **/etc/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf**. 
 
 The default configuration of the Python SPF policy agent provides a binary "block" or "don't block" functionality. However, the implementation described in this how to uses SpamAssassin as a post-SMTP spam filter. This means that Postfix should not reject e-mails coming from e-mail servers that are not listed in the SPF record. Instead an SPF header is appended to the e-mail. The information in the header is used by SpamAssassin to weigh whether an incoming e-mail should be considered spam. This specific setup requires the following non-default configuration parameters in **/etc/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf**:

-## Configuring SpamAssassin
+### Configuring SpamAssassin
 SpamAssassin uses a scoring mechanism in order to determine if an e-mail should be considered spam. By default SpamAssassin considers an e-mail to be spam if the score at least "5". An e-mail starts with a score of 0 and points are added based on the [tests](https://spamassassin.apache.org/old/tests_3_3_x.html) performed. The tests performed can be configured by adding specific [configuration parameters](https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.4.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html) in **/etc/spamassassin/local.cf**.
 
 Now here's the tricky part. The points added to the score of an incoming e-mail based on the results of a specific test, is at its core a custom job. Many variables can be taken into consideration when scoring an e-mail (which is considered the strength of a post-SMTP spam filter) and the detailed scoring depends on a domain owner's specific wishes. For the sake of this how to, the SPF scoring will be based on the assumption that the domain owner wants to consider an e-mail to be spam if the sending e-mail server's IP-address or host is not in the domain's SPF record.
