Well, I looked into this further, and tried the line mentioned above, but 
really don't see much difference in the email's scoring. I did find a few 
Postfix fixes and suggestions, but I run Sendmail. Other than that, it 
appears it should be working. Maybe it is.

What should I see that indicates this is working? To keep it simple for an 
explanation, I see the SPF_PASS triggered on a real AOL email, with a score 
of -0.00, but should I see the -15 or -100 score anywhere? Can the scoring 
for this be modified to a different score like other rules' score? I have 
very low SPAM and HIGH SPAM thresholds. These have worked very well here for 
quite some time but a -15 would really throw this out of whack.

Thanks for the help. I'll keep googling and hope I see something on this.
