It's down in the "Changes In Feisty" section (Feisty Fawn is the code
name for the next Ubuntu release):
Feisty includes a number of changes to provide SPF (Sender Policy
Framework) checking with Postfix. SPF is the most deployed e-mail domain
forgery protection technology today and was codified by the IETF in RFC
4408. See http://www.openspf.org/ for more information. Feisty will be
the first Linux distribution to include everything needed to do RFC 4408
compliant SPF checking. The Python SPF library has been updated to the
latest release (python-spf 2.0.3). A companion Postfix policy server
(python-policyd-spf) is also included for a pure Python approach. There
is also a new Perl SPF library (libmail-spf-perl) with a companion
Postfix policy server (postfix-policyd-spf-perl).
That is great, but I do not think they were the first. SuSE/OpenSUSE has
had it for a while. They currently have it available via YaST2 for SUSE
10.0, 10.1, and OpenSUSE 10.2. It is in the download repo and available
via ftp. I did get them to update to the latest and greatest. Thanks to
the Build Service. To Look it is in Server:Mail.
So packages you did get released to all the opensuse 10.x versions
immediately?
I didn't know that. That's great.
In my defence, at the time I wrote that your stuff wasn't in opensuse yet, so
you pulled ahead.
Thanks again for your work on that.
