Indeed you're right. Googling the issue reveal that postfix-policyd-spf apparently is rather unmaintained and people suggest using the perl or python versions instead. I do remember having this issue myself, some 2 years ago and nothing seems to have happened since then. The Google result also show, that postfix-policyd-spf doesn't compile with newer versions of libspf2. Perhaps we should ask to have postfix-policyd-spf removed from the ports tree altogether? - -- Med venlig hilsen - Sincerely Uffe R. B.
