I was looking through my logs and found this issue.  I don't know if i'm the only one, or not. But it's rather easy to fix.

Solution :

In /etc/spamassassin/local.cf find the line :  spf_timeout 5
Before this line, add the following line to it :

loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
Then the issue is solved.

file : /etc/spamassassin/local.cf
example :

# For Mail::SPF
loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
spf_timeout         5

If you don't know if you have this problem, you can verify spamasassin by running the following command:

sudo spamassassin --lint

If it shows nothing, all is working fine. If it produces the output above, then you can apply the rule to fix it.

Example issue :

crazypiano@mail:~$ sudo spamassassin --lint

Jun 14 15:47:04.346 [18599] warn: lint: 1 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more information
crazypiano@mail:~$

Example non-issue:

crazypiano@mail:~$ sudo spamassassin --lint
crazypiano@mail:~$
