Red Hat produce Fedora 2 and 3 RPMs as part of the main Fedora
distribution.
Tim Jackson produces RPMs for some earlier/other RH/Fedora versions. I
don't actually need to build my own RPMs any more since I don't have any
older RH boxes that need exim support so I stopped producing them
myself. Tim's are on
ftp.exim.org/pub/rpm-for-exim/ - which is where
the ones I used to produce were dropped.

I understand the exiscan extension includes SPF. The Fedora RPMs are
built with exiscan, although I don't know if SPF is configured in (or
even if it needs build time configuring in). As I am another SPF
sceptic I haven't followed this up.
[A nitpick - this is actually the wrong mailing list for this sort of
thing - exim-dev is probably misnamed, since its intended to manage the
development process as we transition from a Cambridge Cathedral to
something more Bizarre. exim-users would actually be the right list].
