Any chance we can seperate fail & unknown into two different tests?
via spf we have ?all or -all which are supposed to be treated differently
from what I understand.

I would rather seriously penalize any domain that is configured with a -all
and the sending IP is fails
and would NOT want to penazlize unconfigured or ?all transitional domains.

Ideally I would like something like this:

SPFPASS spf pass     x -5 0
SPFUNKN spf unknown  x 4  0
SPFFAIL spf fail     x 8  0

For those that are interested, we now have an interim release with SPF
support in it.  It can be downloaded from http://www.declude.com/interim (a
new URL that we are going to be using for interim releases, that explains a
bit more about them).  To use the new SPF test, you can add lines such as:

SPFPASS spf     pass    x       -5      0
SPFFAIL spf     fail    x       8       0

to your global.cfg file.  SPF returns "PASS" for E-mail that passes SPF
(that comes from an IP that is acceptable to the owner of the domani that it
claims to be coming from), "FAIL" for E-mail that fails SPF (that does not
come from an acceptable IP for the domain), or "UNKNOWN" (for E-mail from
domains that do not use SPF yet, or for some other reason should return
UNKNOWN).

This will help reduce false positives (for domains that have SPF support),
and help capture more spam (as spam comes in from domains that have SPF
support, but the spammer isn't using an acceptable IP).
