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).
Not at all. SPF is designed for SMTP between MTAs. It is about
validating the sender domain through the connecting host's IP address.
Since fetchmail is no SMTP receiver, there is nothing to deal with.
If your local server enforces SPF, just configure it to have the local
host in a white list. Using SRS in fetchmail to work around that would
really be tweaking at the wrong point.
As some people pointed out, it is best to use your MDA for local
delivery, but this is not true for installations, as you might have some
filtering, virus scanning etc. in you MTA. If you use the --mta option,
fetchmail will only use this way for delivering.
