I'd recommend that you seriously consider taking a look at using qpsmtpd as your SMTP daemon. Doing arbitrarily complicated things with spf records is relatively easy in qpsmtpd plugins. qpsmtpd handles the mail traffic of perl.org and apache.org, so I guess it can handle your traffic as well. I'm not intending to slight mailfront at all. It's great software, but doesn't come close to the flexibility and feature set of qpsmtpd. --- Charlie
