who defines what legitimate mail is? Is all mail from domains with
SPF records legitimate?

It's enough to make me avoid the project. Really. Tell upstream to
rethink it, maybe?

Hm.

"""
tumgreyspf is a policy filter for mail servers which aims to lower
the spam count. It combines SPF lookups with greylisting in such
a way that messages are only greylisted if their sender domains do
not have valid and matching SPF records. This can help reduce the
number of spam messages the system has to process.
