When I checked last (September 24th), a few patches were sent around
on this list, but there seemed to be no central maintenance any more,
since the last release (1.2.5, February 24th, 2005).

We use libspf2 here, with a few local changes, too:
- portability
- DNS lookup limits adapted to RFC 4408
- hooks for own DNS layer (more efficient than creating an SPF_server_t
  with one of the default layers, destroying that and then substituting
  an own DNS layer there)
- not using trusted-forwarder.org by default, from the beginning on
- fixed result code if mx/ptr limits are exceeded
- a few fixes of malloc/realloc/calloc error handling (not all errors
  are handled well, as that would require significant changes on the
  internal interfaces, so the library will abort on some out-of-memory
  conditions! This is also the case for the official release code,
  which also may abort with NULL pointer dereferences on OOM)

Kind regards,

Hannah.
