I've only recently installed libspf2 (version 1.0.4, plus policyd-1.0.1, 
running from postfix), and I don't understand the results I'm getting.

For instance recreating a rejected request with the spfquery tool (see 
below) appears to fail the request, but if I go to the pobox URL reported 
in the message, it seems to say the request should have been accepted. 
Which is correct, or am I just hopelessly confused?

spfquery -ip 216.39.67.118 -sender xxxxx(_at_)ProcessRequest(_dot_)com
fail
Please see 
http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=xxxxx%40ProcessRequest.com&ip=216.39.67.118&receiver=spfquery
spfquery: domain of ProcessRequest.com does not designate 216.39.67.118 as 
permitted sender
Received-SPF: fail (spfquery: domain of ProcessRequest.com does not 
designate 216.39.67.118 as permitted sender) client-ip=216.39.67.118; 
envelope-from=xxxxx(_at_)ProcessRequest(_dot_)com;

libspf2 is wrong. libspf and M::S::Q both get this right. It's another
case sensitivity bug. Try:

spfquery -ip 216.39.67.118 -sender xxxxx(_at_)processrequest(_dot_)com

I'm CC'ing this email to the libspf2 bug-tracing system.

Cheers, Paul.
