They should be. I always test my changes in my own SMTP server, so in case there's a mistake, I would notice quickly! ;) (as you can see in the svn log, this happened before) > Can't exim do SPF checks itself without having to revert to the > external spfquery utility?

I avoided it on purpose, because: - Taking into account that I'm responsible for any mistakes in the config, I want it to be simple and well-tested, and the spfquery method is the one I'm best experienced with. - One of your concerns in README.Debian was that you didn't want an additional library dependency. There's more potential for bugs and maintainance work in a library that is always linked in, that in a configuration snippet that is disabled by default, so I kind of agree with you on this. - I'm not sure if the built-in library supports all the features. In particular, X-SPF-Guess headers, and other (more agressive) checks that I'm using myself but not putting into the package. > If you are going a more complicated way to avoid the library > dependency, we should have the documentation mention that there is an > easier way of using SPF at the cost of locally building the binary > packages.
