We should fix SpamAssassin not to use it by default -- SPF is a _very_
broken concept. http://david.woodhou.se/why-not-spf.html

While you _can_ contrive non-harmful ways to use SPF, it really isn't a
very good idea for us to be packaging it, shipping it, and generally
making it easy for people to use it. It's major intended usage is
fundamentally broken.
