Description Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2013-03-30 16:24:39 UTC 
pyspf doesn't like it when an SPF record contains invalid characters, and this causes pypolicyd-spf to crash and reject mail rather than return a PermError as it should.

Scott Kitterman has fixed this in Ubuntu (see URL), with a patch here:
