[Mimedefang] SPF in MD

I meant more along what are you doing with SPF.  Are you rejecting mail? Are
you creating a header? Etc.  I believe someone else already posted that if
you have headers with SPF status in them, you can trigger on those headers
using SpamAssassin or MD quite easily.

So basically, what do you have sendmail doing based on SPF records?  I'm
assuming you may be rejecting connections and that would mean you would
ignore SPF in sendmail and fall down to the MD level to implement the SPF
check which could have dubious gains.

Perhaps a better question is: What problem are you trying to solve that the
SPF<->Sendmail tie-in doesn't provide?
