The only scenario I immediately recall from when I wrote this was that you may have an intermediate relay that is processing SPF checks that isn't doing it correctly. Having the last relay (top most) re-do it correctly would apply to this config option. 99.99% of installations are probably fine with the default, which I recommend. I really only added the option for those users who have multiple Received-SPF headers for some reason so that they would have at least somewhat of an option of which one gets used. I assume that they know why they have multiple headers and which one would be most appropriate to use. Daryl
