Summary     : Milter to enable SPF checking in sendmail
Description :
sendmail-milter-spf is a mail filter designed to be used with sendmail
to implement checking of DNS spf records (see http://spf.pobox.com/)
to detect forged mail sender addresses.

But I may have been trying to upgrade a previous version that was not an 
RPM that I installed a while back directly from spf.pobox.com....

Yes, I have modified the chkconfig priority trying to get it to work 
right for me.  I think I remember having to do the same with the 
previous version too....
