I am glad to announce a new release of spf-milter:

sendmail-milter-spf-1.41

This point release features but one major addition: the use of a
whitelist. Many folks have written me, asking for a way to whitelist
IP/network addresses. Especially in environments with secondaries,
tertiaries, "pass-through" mailers. etc., this new feature may prove
welcome.

* New feature: in response to popular demand, spf-milter now supports the
use of a whitelist, consisting of individual IP addresses, and/or IP
netblocks expressed in CIDR notation. Connections from IP addresses in
the whitelist are exempted from SPF-checks, and are treated as
authenticated.

The whitelist is OPTIONAL. It does not need to exist. But if it does,
each and every line needs to contain a valid entry (IP address, or
network address in proper CIDR notation). Commentary/empty lines are
allowed. Valid entries, for example, are:

127.0.0.1 # my local machine.
192.168.64.0/24
10.0.0.0/8
192.68.1.0-192.68.1.255
192.68.0.0/16

* Behavioral change: also on request, in "mx" mode, we now log the
recipient as well. REJECT, in envrcpt_callback, will now look like
this:

"reject=550 5.7.1 [RCPT TO: <recipient>] Please see ..."

* Bug fix: poorly escaped % characters caused double-escaping at times.

I also added a new section to the "sendmail-milter-INSTALL.txt" doc:

"5. WHITELISTING"

Which explains how to use the whitelist function.

I also cleaned up the code a bit, here and there; but most of those changes
were cosmetic.

Cheers,
