Ah, OK. So do you provide an 'exim-devel' package containing the headers
which a localscan function will need? I think I'm happier building it
all from the same SRPM.

Doesn't sound useful then.

You do. Just as you used to need to rebuild Exim to include your own
localscan function. :)

I won't be enabling SPF in the Fedora RPM -- and if it were enabled by
default I'd be turning it off for the RPM. We have a responsibility to
our users to make it hard for them to do utterly stupid things.
If there are _sane_ things could reasonably be included and aren't, mail
me or file RFE bugs for them specifically.
