Is %SendmailMacros available in filter_sender?  It appears to be 
populated in do_scan(), which occurs after the message is parsed, 
Work/ directory created, etc.  I expect that filter_sender() is 
called much earlier in the process.

Despite the documentation, I think $Sender is available throughout 
the filter.  Could you move the SPF checks to filter_begin?  I 
realise that's not as efficient, but you could at least verify that 
the SPF checks work.
