According to the SPF website http://www.pobox.com/ intro page at
http://www.pobox.com/intro.html:
  "SPF expects to see support in SpamAssassin 2.70"
(rather than the 3.0 stated above).

Next question (veering off-topic perhaps): does anyone know approximately
when SA2.70 is due?  (And whether SPF's statement about SA2.70 is correct?
And what the SA/SPF rules and initial scores might look like?)
