I wondered why I was not receiving any fedora-extras messages for a week.
So after tweaking my procmail rules, I found it all email was deleted
as spam, because it scores "SPFFAIL".
Ow! Never treat SPFFAIL that way -- that's not what SPF is for.
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.

stock spamassassin does SPF only if you install the optional
perl-Mail-SPF-Query from Fedora Extras.

There is a good reason why we don't enable SPF by default in Fedora. It
is not particularly useful at protecting you against spam.
