First, I believe this is stock spamassassin rpm packaging, so that would
then be a fedora bug. But second, AFAIK, it *is* what SPF is for. If a
machine claiming to send on behalf of a domain is not listed in a TXT
record for that domain, then it is a roque sender and therefor fake,
and therefor should be dropped.
