I took that statement from someone using it on openbsd.  I suppose I should have said,
"So and So says that sendmail is broken".  Since it either never was really broken or is now
fixed, I'll update it.  Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry I still haven't split out the milter application from the extension.

The milter application has a function which should be in the library section.  I am not sure
where.  It is the is_dynip(host,ip) heristic which tries to recognize PTR names which are for
dynamic IPs.  I want to put it in the spf module, but it is not really part of spf - just
a heuristic that is handy when doing spf type things.

I don't want too many top level modules.  Maybe the thing to do is to create a 
milter subpackage.  But spf is useful for other MTAs.  Packaging is hard.
