Be aware that under Debian, where Exim is the default MTA, the
maintainers have packaged a special version of Exim compiled
without SPF support.  Their docs state that they did this to avoid
encouraging the use of SPF, which they do not like.

I reviewed the exim4 source package, and as far as I could see, this
is NOT true for the current packages.

The memo you cite concerns development of future packages.  The current
stable release of Debian (sarge) includes Exim 4.50 with upstream
patches.

Oops, you're right.  I am not into the stable distribution (I use testing 
instead), so I missed that.  However, a new stable distribution is about 
to be released soon, which will include those "future packages".
