Hi Scott:

A) Is there an %SPFSTATUS% variable for use in the headers (that will show
FAIL/PASS/UNKNOWN)?

B) If not, is there a "generic" SPF test in the global.cfg, so that I can
use one line to create a WARN action e.g.

SPF     spf     *       x       x       x

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).
