I want to see SPF support bundled into mainstream MTAs and turned on by
default.  Until that day arrives, we need to keep pushing.

"Turning on by default" is dangerous sometimes.

I will send Wietse the SPF plugin; the decision to bundle it or not will
rest with him.

He has already announced that it will be included in the soon coming 2.1
release.
 
I suspect that having an official RFC number on the plugin will help.

My whishlist for the Policyd :
- Merge with the greylisting script to avoid overhead
- As few dependencies as possible for additional perl modules
- Configurable behavior like disable HELO checks 

Thanxs & Regards

Andreas
