libspf vs libspf2? Hunh?

2004-07-01 09:48:08
Hi,
   I'm relatively new to the list, and I'm puzzling over
libspf vs libspf2.  I searched the list archives and note that
there has been a bit of a flame-war in the past, that I don't
want to rekindle.  My needs/desires are:

* an SPF app that builds into sendmail 8.13 (for Solaris 9),
  hopefully without having to use a milter.  I don't use milters
  now and SPF seems important enough that it ought to just be a
  part of sendmail.  I was surprised that 8.13 didn't include SPF
  technology.

* While I use a lot of perl with my sendmail, eg MailScanner,
  the idea of another perl add-on for SPF makes me groan.
  Spf-milter was a nonstarter for me, since it coughed up a
  timeout complaint right away during testing.  C code patched/added
  into sendmail seems a better way to go.

Comments from the SPF crowd about which way to go, and why?
No flames about the "other guy" please, just the facts on why you
use one vs the other (and what platform and MTA?).
