It may be painful, but it seems likely that I'm going to have to split up my
DNS using Bind 9 views, which means <groan> two zone files for each domain
we host, an internal one with an SPF record that permits sending from all
our IPs, and an external one that only permits the MTAs to do it.  I'm not
terribly happy about this, as it's going to make my DNS config very
perplexing just a few months after I had finished a major cleanup.  It would
be better if Declude would just simply have some way of whitelisting IP
addresses to prevent SPF testing.  We aren't going to spend money on an
upgrade path just for "WHITELIST AUTH", that's for certain.
