Meng,

Would it be difficult for the guess routine to return 'fail' as well as
'pass' and 'neutral'?

these kinds of decisions are best left to the local installation.
I agree, and that is how it is configurable. Can it be made to work for
fails, though?

From the manpage to Mail::SPF::Query

    Set "local=>'include:local.domain'" to include some extra process-
    ing just before a "-all" or "?all".  The local processing happens
    just before the trusted processing.
Sorry, Meng.  I must be slow tonight.  I'm still not getting what you mean
by using 'local'.  Can you give me an example?

Thanks,
Marc
