SPF support

[Jan-Peter Koopmann]

Hi Julian,

I was having a look at spf (http://spf.pobox.com) which I personally think is a great idea. I setup everything in exim, got the spf support to work and was pretty happy with myself until I had a look at the maillog:

Jan 29 02:13:40 proxy.intern.seceidos.de MailScanner[95138]: Batch: Ignoring invalid queue file for message 1Am0ft-0000qI-0M-H

I suppose this is because the spf procedure is adding several additional acls thich get reported in the queue file. MailScanner obviously checks the syntax but fails. Could you have a look at this? IMHO additional queue file tags should pose no problem to MailScanner.

Here is the contents of one queue file:
