I opened a ticket back in 16/09/2004 then again in 29/09/2004.
No response and no way to manually check if the issue is addressed.
The version of libspf2 is still the same one (1.0.4)

Here is an example of mail that got rejected when it should not have 
been (use spfquery which comes with libspf2):

spfquery -ip=65.23.158.22 [email protected] 
-helo=bytesite.com.au

I personally have patched libspf API from Steve Couzen into Exim and 
removed libspf2.  This will work fine.  Lots of other cases ALSO fail 
with libspf2 but as set to neutral (unless you force it in exiscan) you 
won't notice it is broken.  The example above wants you to enforce it 
hence a good example of libspf2 brokeness.
