Do not mistake the publication of records by Red Hat sysadmins for a
company policy which approves of such a stupid scheme.

This _has_ been raised internally but I wouldn't really expect it to
change any time soon. In the meantime, the company just continues to
advertise its technical cluelessness in this particular respect.

Personally, I think we should drop perl-Mail-SPF-Query, or at _least_
modify our SpamAssassin package so that it needs to be _explicitly_
asked to do SPF rather than doing so by default if the package is
installed.
