However, there are a few examples in the documentation that talk about

From the Mail::SPF::Query documentation in the examples/exim-acl :

spf_from_acl:

    # Check header From:

    warn     set acl_m8  = ${address:$h_from:}
    deny     !acl        = spf_check
    warn     message     = Received-SPF: $acl_m8 ($acl_m7)
    accept

In the Exim documentation in the doc/experimental-spec.txt :

You can now run SPF checks in incoming SMTP by using the "spf"
ACL condition  in either  the MAIL,  RCPT or  DATA ACLs.

[...]

Can someone please contact the Exim people and tell them that SPF
shouldn't be used in "DATA ACLs"?

Hmm.  I think you (and I at first) misinterpreted the Exim SPF 
documentation.  It doesn't really say that SPF may be applied to the
"From:" header.  It merely says that SPF checks may be performed "in DATA 
ACLs", which most likely just means "after the SMTP DATA command was 
received".  (Even if an SPF check was performed in that stage, it would 
still have to be on the MAIL FROM address.)

Seems there isn't actually a need for correcting the Exim docs.  Anyway, 
what does "TINEP" mean?
