Hi...
I get the feeling that no-one is working on libspf2 anymore. It appears
the last time the source was touched was Aug 31, 2004.
The libspf2.org website has been abandoned too.
I do get the wrong impression sometimes, so if anyone is working on it,
a show of hands would be appreciated.
I would like to help the devel effort too. Effort? What effort?
Around the same time (early September 2004), the following things were
happening:
- MARID group was disbanded.
- Open source Sender-ID milter for sendmail was announced
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sid-milter/ (Looks like a one-man effort)
- Microsoft issued a Sender-ID pattent application
- Apache said they want nothing to do with it.
- Sendmail said they want some of it.
- The SPF founder also wanted some of it, so he married SPF and Sender-ID
- The technical experts here and elsewhere said it's a bad idea (more
words than that, of course)
- The adoption rate of SPF went from strong to limp over-night.
How all of these events and others relate, I don't fully understand
myself. It almost looks like the pattent issue on Sender-ID killed SPF.
It makes no sense, I know...
All in all, I think it would be awsome to put SPF back on track.
Thanks,
Radu.

I'm trying to compile libspf2-1.2.0. If compilation is failing on a tool
I don't need, I can delete compilation of that subdirectory. But the
missing
symbol definitions affect more than just that tool - it's a more
fundamental
problem that the symbols SPF_* are not anywhere defined. That's the problem
I have - I don't care about spfquery per se.
I find it hard to believe that nobody else has run into this? It seems a
header
file is missing - one that defines the symbols SPF_*. /That/ is the problem
I have - and libspf2 won't compile at all as is.

p.s. I can return to re-fetch the source to see if someone's fixed that
omission.
1.2.0a?
