The host system runs under CentOS-6. Other than Postfix itself all
the packages on this system are either from CentOS or EPEL. Python
was last updated in September 2016. pypolicd-spf was last updated
January 2017. These problems only evidenced themselves very recently:

The issue was first noticed yesterday. but appears to have started on
the 15th.

Moving to the most recent version of pypolicyd-spf requires upgrading
python. Since the YUM package manager on CentOS-6 requires python 2.6
this is a non-starter.
We are in the process of moving off Linux to FreeBSD in any case. I
will spin up a BHyve FreeBSD instance for Postfix and migrate our MX
address to the new server. So much for the weekend.
