Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/2154

Impacted versions

• OS Type: Debian (but should apply to all OS)
• OS Version: 10.7
• Modoboa: 1.17.0
• installer used: Yes

Steps to reproduce

Use the installer on a system without the binary host. It happened to me with a VPS from OVH, installed with a "stock" Debian 10.

Current behavior

There are no error during install.
/usr/local/bin/spf-tools/despf.sh fails silently. So postwhite fails silently, and /etc/postfix/postscreen_spf_whitelist.cidr is empty.

Expected behavior

If host doesn't exist, it should be installed by the installer. In Debian, it's included in the bind9-host package.
