I see no where on http://spf.pobox.com/faq.html that states SPF requires an anti-spam program. I do however see that http://spf.pobox.com/misc.html SpamAssassin will introduce SPF in 2.70.

I have read the SPF RFC (breaks forwards btw) and no I don't write anti-spam software - I write other types of software. No I have never written code to support SPF however, as time permits, I am actively modifying the ASSP code to support this and rbldns types checking. http://spf.pobox.com/ has established the feasibility and others have provide plugs/patches for the major leading email servers. My original post was for the folks at IPSwitch asking them if there was any chance of adding code to support Sender Policy Framework (SPF) - nothing more.
