postfix + policyd-spf : ip address not recognized

[Nagy László Zsolt]

System: FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p2
Postfix version: 2.11.6
Policyd-spf version: py27-postfix-policyd-spf-python-1.2

I have added "check_policy_service unix:private/policyd-spf" to
"smtpd_recipient_restrictions" in main.cf.

This is what I see in the maillog:

Sep 29 03:49:37 shopzeus policyd-spf[5634]: Traceback (most recent call

Now, this seems to be the very same error:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230373

But here is what I also have:

# pip install -U ipaddress
Requirement already up-to-date: ipaddress in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
# pip install -U ipaddr
Requirement already up-to-date: ipaddr in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages


I think this cannot be a bug introduced 2 months ago and still not
fixed? Then what is wrong here? How can I fix this?

Thanks,
