Hi. I used fetchmail for a few projects over the past 10 years,
and was curious how it deals with SPF (Sender Policy Framework,
http://spf.pobox.com). 

If fetchmail retrieves a remote message, then resubmits it locally 
on port 25 with the original sender on the envelope, those messages
would be blocked if the local server is enforcing SPF, because the
local machine's ip isn't listed as a valid sender for the domain
which originally sent the mail. :(

Anyway, any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated!


If you deliver your mail locally use a lda (local delivery agent?)
and do not try to deliver it via smtp port..
