I'm not familiar with sendmail internals, but I would assume sendmail
would require a C patch to support a ruleset. While the sendmail
ruleset language is, ahem, probably Turing-complete, a patch just seems
saner. I understand someone is working on a C patch; when they are
done, maybe someone with Sendmail experience could integrate it?
I know Eric Allman was unhappy with SPF's complexity and told me he
preferred one of the simpler alternatives, eg. DMP, which would work
well with an existing DNSBL-style lookup. If we can give him a patch,
that might help change his mind enough to put it in the distribution.
I've just had a read of
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fecyk-dmp-01.txt
which seems to have very similar objectives to SPF. Can
someone give a concise comparison of these 2 proposals,
in their current forms ? Is it that SPF, in its current form,
needs more changes at the MTA end, while SPF requires more
changes to DNS servers, e.g. to support DNS wildcards ?
