Yes been using it (the ACL) and SPF for a couple of months now. No big surprises
but it is working just fine. Needs some critical mass to have much bite.
It needs spfd to work, and getting that to work is no easier than installing
the ACL. With regard to exim, the spfd program needs to open a socket that is
readable by the exim user. See
http://www.credentia.cc/exim/ slides 18 & 19
for more details.
Also, even without SPF ACLs installed, people can now (easily) add SPF TXT
records to their zones to help bolster the effort. The wizard at
http://spf.pobox.com/wizard.html is really slick for this.
